In japan they have one in a First Gen So I don't see why not on a RX-3 it's all Money at the end.

Most everyone is putting first or second gen and a few third gen trannies in their old schools because they are way cheaper. I don't know of anyone who has done an rx8.

Try to do it without cutting the steel, save the car sacrofice the tranny---MadChad.

Or get an old style bellhousing from a ribcase tranny and mate it to a T2 tranny. Others have done it and it works well.

its on!!!!
 
im gonna give it a go... i picked up the tranny and hope to start on the change- over soon... it will be AWSOME to have a six speed since im running a 4.44 rear
