But I don't think the shifter aligns with the RX-8 opening.

before i proceed may i ask why you want to swap the trannys?

fd-5 speed (problems with 3 and 5 gear)

aisin- 6 speed (can't handle too much power)

the renny was desined to have a 6-speed tranny. if you want a stronger tranny, look at the 2nd gen tranny's

and how much of a strong tranny do you need when we only make around 130 tq lol

I was told the second gen tranny wouldnt bolt right up, I need something to hold the power, n when I get the tranny I plan to rebuild while its open. However thank you, I know its a difficult build but when u want power Its money. I blew my motor and am rebuilding and swaping to MT.

Mazsport isn't out of business because of expensive products.

there are quite a few people here with 300+ whp and use the aisin with no probs. try to look into that for now, like i said the 2nd gen tranny will be the best for power.

On something like that,how you drive the car is a big part of it. There are plenty of people with 200whp that had to replace transmissions too.
