I love driving, my favorite part about driving is shifting. I would buy a 10 speed manual if I could. I would never buy an automatic car. So i got my RX7 converted from 5 speed manual to 6 speed manual. I was just wondering what kind of transmission you prefer?

 

I'd love a manual CVT, but I can't afford to make one - it's either that or a six-speed manual

 

you already converted to 6 speed?
or need options to do the convert?

sorry i am poor in english..

i also wanted, to have 6 speed in my 7
IMO it's
1 of many dream that 7 owner share?

 

I already converted

 

cool!
would you let us know some of the infomation
on how you do it?

uh.. you converted to a v8 too?

 

I got a shop to do it for me, i was feeling lazy, and as for the V-8 thing goes, i will never convert, ROTORY FOR LIFE!

 

few...
glad you keep that rotor in there
i am converting to a 20b, just need a trans to mate with.

what kind of trans is in your car?
could it be a T-56 ?

 

dunno, im gonna have to check

 

how much total that convert cost you?
may i know?

 

ya let me check the bill.... one sec

 

about $9,000, it costs alot of money, it took me awhile to save up

 

9,000 ? 4 real?
i just have to stop dream about
or make it on my own.
ahahha lol

 

Damn 9k for one more gear?

 

I did it in one of my old FC's for a waste of $3000. Never again will I make that mistake.

Corksport claims their $5000 HKS dog-unit is a 6 speed, but only lists 5 gear ratios. Trying to find any information on the HKS dogbox is near impossible, too.

 

How was it?
would you tell us more about it?

thanks

 

If you really did spend $9k to install a 6-speed, you are an idiot. However, judging from your posts, I'm guessing you didn't.

 

i agree ryn

 

How was what?
I used a richmond 6 speed gear box and made an adapter plate for the stock bellhousing and a custom drivershaft. The only gain was better fuel economy on the freeway. I would not do it again.

 

thanks for your info
i guess it help to lower your rpm at high way alot huh?
i am looking for a trans taht could handle alot of tq of the 20b

 

Yes, 0.62:1 overdrive comapred to the stock TII 8.52:1

 

the only reason i bought a six speed transmission was because my RX7 was an automatic, and everyone was telling me how fun it would be to drive one, and i wanted to drive a manual, but i did'nt want to buy a new car, so i got my transmission converted

 

Tri... if you want to discuss more about the 20B transmission topic, do a search in the 20B section. We have discussed this topic numerous times there.

The T56 is a strong trans but will not handle the high rpms rotary's have without beefing up the internals (hardened gears, etc).

 

thanks for the info
i did search, so far only see ppl talking about it.
none had done it yet.
i am waitting how evil would do it, i like to be a follower.
no money to be a lead.

 

I only know about a 5 speed seeing as that thats all I have ever driven never gotten a chance to drive a 6 speed but would like to one day and maybe convert mine as well.

 

if less then 5,000 maybe i'll do it next year
