I just spoke with a rotary shop and they mentioned an issue with the tranny going out. Has anyone heard of this problem and is there a solution or recommendation that would enable me to have a super cool automatic RX-8 with a turbo and not have to worry about a very high chance of my tranny breaking? Thanks for the help guys!

 

1) Buy the BHR radiator & tranny cooler setup.

2) Don't turn up the boost too high.

 

There are some solutions, but they ain't cheap.

I'm with Static, get the BHR automatic radiator and trany cooler setup tho, it's the best insurance you can get.

 

like they said. if you really want to you can contact level 10 and get a better trans.

I don't believe Phil or 09Factor have busted their tranny's yet. They seem to be the ones with the most FI AT experience.
