I have a sixspeed in my FC... but its attached to a 5.7L powerplant
you could get the RX8 trans to work,
but if you want better acceleration from shorter gearing you can get a mazdaspeed gear set
or even just changing the rear end gear from the stock 4.1 to something shorter (numerically higher) like closer to 5.0 would make your car FREAKIN RIP!!!!!!

Just a thought...

If we're talking about an NA here, there's been lots of good posts from before.
Do a search.
If we're talking turbo here, don't even bring up the RX-8 trans, cause it's going to explode in a week.

Best engineering on a trans goes to:
http://www.xtremerotaries.com/main2/guru/gearbox.htm
That is only $8900 australian dollars so like $14.85 USD

Those links will take you to race applications for the transmissions. Dog boxes are great for racing but I hardly believe they would make a nice streetable car. I'd stick with the stock tranny and change out the ring and pinion to a 4.8 like someone said earlier.

I have an s2000 trans in my car; It lines up with the oem shifter hole an everything. The problem is theres an s2000 engine in my car too. But, if you could somehow mount a rotary to it and you would be set!
