MFactory upgraded gearsets
#282
... question that you guys might know, since we're talking about MFactory upgraded gearsets (well, ostensibly, I know most went to talking about ring and pinions) Do you know what extent the RX-8, FR-S and 6 speed Miata gearboxes interchange? For my purposes, assume a willingness to put up with clutch and driveshaft splines that don't match the casing. In an ideal world, what I'm trying to make is something with the RX-8 front case, Miata tailshaft housing, and whatever gear stack gets me the 2.08 2nd and 0.86:1 6th.

Eagerly looking forward to getting a set from the second batch. I declined the refund that was offered to me, told Mike that I would rather have good gears, even if it meant waiting for a while. Looks like my patience/stubbornness might get rewarded

My thoughts exactly ...
This is what I sent Mike this AM
Ok I will get this shipped out.
When will these new designs be ready? I would much rather have 3.3 gears that work than my money back 😉

I am not sure if it is appropriate to cross post, and if not please delete.
howver, it might appear PPG could be coming related to 6-speed gearsets.
another complete gearset option in the works (Jacks Transmissions - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB
