So, listen to this ****. I go to the dealership and had them install a BRAND NEW 09 tranny, had them install the stage 3 Exedy and prolite flywheel. I havent really driven it hard since the install and havent raced it at all.... NOW ALL THE SUDDEN when im trying to run it hard thru all the gears it ***** up. When i go to shift into 4th gear it grinds for a half second before it slides in! WTFFFF im so mad. The worst part is that they are trying to tell me the warranty is void because of my nos, they failed to tell me this BEFORE they installed the tranny....so theres nothing i can do, im stuck with a **** tranny because i didnt take my nos kit off before i had them install the tranny.gay.......

All I got to say....is to drive it...and go with it....it is bull **** that they did that too you..and forth is that all the time or only when in higher rpm's???
You could try some other fluid like the redline everyone talks about.
I hate to say it..but when I needed a tranny everyone told me to go with the 09 that is was much better and worth it...and I went with my rx7 tranny.. I've since then ran it rather hard....shift the gears hard..and third does have a small grind when shifting in..but it's a tranny from the junk yard that i bought for 225!!!!! I didn't expect it to be perfect. I got the short throw for 40 bucks. Parts are so much cheaper for the rx7 tranny..it was totally worth it to me.

yeah... I think he did...the thing that goes threw my head...is how much did that cost him???
See everyone told me to go with a 09 and I didn't and now that I got it back together and everything is great I'm glad I didn't. My install with new clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, drive shaft and used tranny was about 1400...still cheaper then the 09 tranny.

Call bs all you want, i can provide pictures. And if you look down about 3cm you will see that i got a 09 tranny with ExedyS2 clutch and prolite flywheel. Just because you dont have it doesnt mean no one does.

Okay anyone have a downloadable copy of this? I just picked up an 04 6 speed that needs syncros and unlike the FC there is no access panel to look at stuff.
I found the rx8 service manual but doesnt go into overhaul of the trans, just tells you specs and clutch repair.
pretty sad
