RX8 Facelift = transmission spree?
I have heard the new facelifted rx8 will come with a 4.77 final gear transmission as standard.
I know some people are swapping their transmissions for a 4.77 as a mod, so does this mean this mod will become a whole lot cheaper / more common as OEM mazda parts become available from next year? It should just drop right in I guess? |
At this point, performance specs on the RS are pure speculation. That's wikipedia for you.

would be interesting to see if people start putting the new transmission on current 8's

As in my thread, most of the cost comes from the $200 of bearings that need to be replaced as well as the labor of taking it out. |
