yeah dude i didnt mean to "flame" you, actually a lot of us have asked the same question before, soon realized its WAY easier said then done, well at least on the rx8 it is, to many damn sensors and whatnot BS, but its because of that our cars are so great and handle amazing.

Any of you guys have any knowledge of clutchless transmissions? I did the search but didnt really find much except people talking about it in 04.... Just wondering if anyone knows a company or anything that makes them.
I know it will be a crap ton of money, but I see it as a way to have my baby be manual while still saving my knee from the shifting madness that is Souther California Traffic.

Taj, I would really appreciate getting to chat with you about it. I really have no idea about it just thought it might be an alternative to having to deal with a Clutch Pedal.

I already bought **** and have night class John =_='
Spartan, it is possible, I talked to alot of people who is capable of doing it
however, the cost will be about 5000$ for parts alone and about 1500$ for labor and custom fabrication, + miscellaneous = 7000$ give or take man

I am not 100% sure on it yet but I think it would be **** to have... I could have my manual fix and still have a knee when I'm 30.

Spartan, the thing is that you have a 4-Port engine. Even with a tranny swap, you won't be able to make much power. If possible, I believe that it's cheaper just to buy a 6-Port engine+tranny (be it MT or AT) and do the swap. That would be the cheapest route imo. 
Of course, there's always the FI route though I've seen 230-240whp top with a 4-Port.

John having the 4 port was also something I was considering. To be honest when I looked into getting my 8 I didnt realize there was a newer 6 port AT... that was my bad for not doing enough footwork before I got it.
I'm not sad with my car AT ALL... I love. And its not so much the power gain I'm looking for but the fun of having a manual.
