RX8 6 Speed Gearbox instead of the Type 9
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2015 8:36 pmHas any one doe this conversion? I was reading a thread on TurboSport http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=500016
and a dude is selling conversion plates on eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Type-9-Conver ... 1103715185 for $150 GBP.
They use the same input shaft as a type 9 and 4 Speed so you can keep the Pinto clutch etc but need to convert to hydraulic.
RX8 G/b's seem to be around $800 so cheaper then a type nine and better ratios and extra gear. You'd need a bigger tunnel though.
Be keen to get peoples thoughts. Not looking to do it but maybe in the future.
Cheers
Matt
