The question is fine, the thread title isn't. Please be descriptive. "RX8" is about the most generic and uninformative thread title you can think of on an RX-8 forum.


The transmission and differential are both sealed. If you have a fluid leak you should see signs on the ground under the center of the car. Transmission (automatic and manual) and differential fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles.

Which transmission are you talking about, manual or automatic?
