that's actually covered in the faq. the short answer is yes, but you'd loose top speed and mpg.

I bet you could put an rx8 transmission into a corvette if you wanted to. The real question is, how much, how difficult, and the biggest of all, why bother?

If you have a TII you could use the renesis clutch on it and then you'd have to make a special mount and driveshaft, the shifter may come out in a different place too, not sure. Then you have to figure out the hydraulics.

Just ignore the peanut gallery.
