Transmission Question

reddozen · 08-20-2009, 09:54 AM

One thing I do know is that the 8's tranny doesn't like to hold much more than 500WHP. I haven't seen many solutions for this yet as most people don't make their 8's THAT fast. I'm sure I'll be looking for a solution by this time next year though.

Best solution is t56...

Thanks guys. Apparently the 06+ miatas use a one piece case so that idea is out, the previous miatas used a removable bellhousing so I'm looking for one of those now.

I am curious about the T56 though. What has to be done to put that behind a rotary?

They are both made by Aisin but they are not the same box. Pretty close, tho.

The 8's tranny doesn't like STOCK RX8 horsepower, LOL, let alone 500. I broke mine at around 350-rwhp.
