... 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

Both 949racing (@emilio700) and Trackspeed have sample sets in their hands. I've not heard back from 949 yet, but Trackspeed have done an initial install of the gears and they fit without issue. I'm waiting to hear back with regards to road testing.
