If converting to an rx8 6 speed costs an extra £100 over a type 9 then surely it's worth the extra?
The type 9, and I've owned a few is very poor and much weaker when compared the Mazda box. The shift is long and notchy and doesn't have the nice short slick feel of a modern gearbox. The type 9 may be a more straightforward fit but not by much.
