Transmission
my second gear grinds when im racing so i got to take it easy in second, but thats not why im writing this. since my second gear grinds i want to have professionals take out the transmission and beef it up with aftermarket transmission parts. i have absolutly no knowledge when it comes to transmissions. If anybody can tell me what parts to buy, or which ones are the best out on the market, so that my transmission can manage more horsepower and so that i loose less of the power from the motr through the tranmission. Basically to wrap this up if you can help me by telling me what kind of parts are out there or what kind of parts i should purchase i would be very pleases. thanks a lot fellow rx8'ers

i dont think your griding when shifting to second because of your transmission. i think its more because your not pushing your clutch all the way in wards when TRYING to shift as quickly as possible. you should try getting the afe short shifter. ONE OF THE BEST MODS YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR CAR. you can feel it right away and it does help out when shifting in the higher rpms.

I do own an AFE short shifter and I have to agree, it is the best mod I have made to my car. Not only is shifting easier and more precise, it is easier to hit gears at high rpm. I would do it first.

no shifting with the clutch isnt a problem, because i do know how to shift. I cant go past 4thousand rpms without grinding shifting into second gear. i think its my synchro because thats what all my friends say, and all my other gears are allways fine. I want to know what new parts to buy to fix this problem if you know then plz tell me. ITS DEFINITLY NOT MY SHIFTING just wanted to make that clear.
thanks a lot
thanks a lot

i had grinding from 3rd-4th and ignored it for a while because my 8 only has 11,000miles on it. i finally took it in to mazda and turns out it was more than a short shift kit could fix. im without my 8 for two week because they have to replace the entire transmission!!!
