LEEN Gearbox Conversion: LexusIS200 AZ6 to Toyota "A&qu

[oldeskewltoy]

Believe it or not.... Generation 3 has arrived! Tough to believe but LEEN has finished the 3rd production run on this, the newest version now fits ALL AZ6 transmissions. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Mazda MX5
Mazda RX8
Nissan Silvia GT-R
Toyota Altezza (3SGE)
Lexus IS200 (1G)

I recently was told that RX8* versions of the AZ6 are selling in the US for as little as $400... add our adapter, move your shifter hole back to about where mine is(see photos below)... and for under $2500 (LESS then the cost of a rebuilt T50 w TRD gears!) you can be rowing 6 speeds instead of 5.... :thumbsup:

RX8 6 spd... - 3.760 2.269 1.645 1.187 1.000 0.843
T50 OEM.... - 3.587 2.022 1.384 1.00 0.861
T50TRD1.... - 2.341 1.607 1.195 1.00 0.886 - (pricey set - about $2000)
T50TRD2.... - 2.630 1.891 1.384 1.00 0.861 - (cheaper set - about $1400)

I've been looking into this and RX8 6 speeds are plentiful and very cheap. How similar/dissimilar is the RX8 6 speed from the J160?

Is it possible to install the gear lever kit on the RX8 gearbox?

RX8 gearbox seems like the best way to go for the North American market. They are as cheap as $400 USD on ebay buy it now.
