Anyone rebuild / upgrade the RX8 Transmission?

Hi guys. Ive been researching this a while, and I had made a thread about it a few months ago, but still havent found any solid info. Im considering using an Rx8 transmission in my FD RX7 behind a N/A 3 rotor. Im well aware of the supposed fragility of these transmissions, but was wondering if there were anyone offering upgraded rebuilds for them? Im willing to purchase the revised 09+ trans, but realize it still may not hold up in stock form. Just looking for options. Thanks!
