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?

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

Mazdamotorsports lists the MSRP for the stock 4.44 gear to be $707 if that will be any indicaiton to the cost of the stock 4.77 gear.
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.
