You want to swap an auto with a 6speed?

That's a first i bet :P

you'll need to swap trannies as well..

You can.

Is it a 6 Port or 4 Port?

You do not need to swap the transmissions.

If it a 6 port, he can definitely throw it in there. It's only a short block most likely.

Am i going to need to switch the flywheels to fit my 6 speed trans? Its another rx8 motor that i am going to put in the car.

wait...I'm confused
the engine you just got from the AT 8...what year 8 did it come out of?

04 and 05 had a 4 port AT
06 and up had the 6 port like your MT engine

I hope you got the 6 port

Its a 04 high power in the car i belive that has a 6 speed on it. and a 05 standard power in my garage that had a auto on it. can i trade them out? will it work with the same computer? i have to change flywheels right?
