It wasn't a defect, but there was a TSB put out and a different part available if the shift rod was at a diffrent spec.

It has nothing to do with power why these tranny's "break." I've never seen one break from torque input, that to me defines a weak tranny.

By the way, I have at least one n/a tranny if you're interested.... condition unknown, shipping would cost you more than the tranny...

If you wanan go all out, we offer fully rebuilt, cryo'ed, basically "blueprinted" trannies for the ITS racers that we have legions of... shoot em a PM if you're interested in that option

I've been trying to follow the bread crumbs you've dropped thus far, but I'm not sure if I've still gotten anything from your cues. maybe i'm slow. at any rate, what's the deal with the Rx-8 tranny? full commentary/dialog is fine with me. hell, even conjecture on your part is welcome.

for me, despite what I've been seeing people say about them, I can't say I was ever swayed into thinking of them as a lost cause. I had/have every intention of using mine in the event I decide to put an older 13B in my 8.

I always assumed input shaft issues and that was from simply reading between some of the lines of bullshit over at the Rx8Club. if I recall, one of the turbocharged 20B Rx-8 guys had his pulled apart and fashioned a custom input shaft for it. to my knowledge that was all he did, but obviously I can't say for sure.

so is that in line with whatever secret you hold?
