IMO I dont think it will. They placed the Renesis engine farther back and lower on the chassis so that means the trans is lower and farther back as well. However, it might work you never know untill someone gets ahold of one, also do you really want to? the gearing will be set up differently, and might not be optimal for the 13BREW.
with some custom mounts, maybe some custom cutting blah blah, it might fit. |
I don't really want one, just curious. It would be alot of work there is no question. Someone thought of putting a 3 rotor in a (fd, fc) and know that is way more work than a tranny swap.

Quaife makes a 6-speed gearset for the FD3S transmission, but for some reason it only works on Japanese spec transmissions. Kinda pricey too..

hmm anything in the tranny is pricy...
but.. i think thats pretty worth it. why only in j-spec Tranny's ... is it possible to swap a J-spec tranny in a us-spec Rx-7 |
Apparently the Rx-8 tranny is the same as the six speed miata tranny if anyone knows if that will work with an fd than the rx-8 one might work.
|
where is that guy that was making that adaptor plate for a T56 to mate up with a stock fd engine?
|
Miata tranny will not bolt up to an FD3s. I own both and have an extra tranny for both laying in my garage.
Anybody know why the 6speed kit only works for j-spec? |
Yes, why only a J-spec tranny? Never heard of any differences in the transmissions.

Dog tranny's are the shit, I'd give my left nut to have a 4 speed NASCAR style one in my car.
|
Too noisy for the street and you have to rev match everything. Only good for race applications.
|
I think I read somewhere on here about them mating a Viper 6spd tranny to the FD...not sure though. It seemed like it was around 6k.
|
i didn't think you had to match revs w/ a dog-style transmission?
|
i asked htsi question a few weeks ago no one answered. does hks have a 6sp for the rx7.

Originally posted by bigmack000 i asked htsi question a few weeks ago no one answered. does hks have a 6sp for the rx7. yes they do but I "believe" it costs 7-10k and is a sequential transmission.. |
I know Alf (soul assassin) had a hks dog mission in his Fc before he left here. It made alot of noice at idle, but well worth the money. I remember him saying he paid 10k.
|
better sell a kidney for one of the trannys from hks. lol thats is alot of coin.

I have read that this is the RX-8 6 speed is the same as that is in the Miata, S15 Silvia and European market Lexus IS200.
I believe the Silvia guys have had durability problems in just the few years it has been out. So, apparantly the transmission is not very good for turbo torque anyways. Hopefully the trans will benifit from continuous improvements since it has so many applications- not that RX-8 or Miata need durable transmissions since they have no torque. |
Wasn't there something about an adapter to fit Viper 6 speed transmission on an FD?
Read that somewhere on the boards... |
Someone will try it soon enough, then we will know for sure.

Trust, OS Geiken, HKS and some others all make 6 speeds and crossmissions

if you go to quaifeusa.com it is listed on there website
I have never heard of Trust selling it or Grex. |
Originally posted by tbielobockie Viper trans is the same basic (I don't know if it's exactly the same) as the Borg Warner T-56 in the GM F-Body. It's a very stout unit and should be able to handle anything you could throw at it. I think the going used price for one of these is around 1200-1500. Mating it to the rotary might be kinda tough. I don't know if there is anything off the shelf that would work. That said, the T56 is also substantially shorter than the Mazda 5-speed (as you can see in the pictures below comparing a 5-speed I had laying around to an LT1 T56) and matching the shifter to the opening in the floor pan would be difficult without some sort of spacer, and that presents its own problems. The LS1 version has a slightly longer (about 1.25") input shaft than the T56 version and a deeper bellhousing as a result, but it would still come short of the shifter opening. Even behind an LT1 which positions the transmission farther back in the chassis, you can see that the T56 shifter location is towards the front of the opening (3rd picture below). http://home.earthlink.net/~jimlab/pi..._side_view.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~jimlab/pi..._back_view.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~jimlab/pi...hifter_loc.jpg |
