Fitment questions
Does the Mazda RX-8 actually have a gearbox mount?
Yes, the RX-8 has a gearbox mount — it is a rear-wheel-drive car with either a six-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox, and both transmissions are supported by rubber mounting points to the subframe. The mount cushions vibration between the gearbox and the body, so it is a genuine serviceable part you can source from a breaker.
Will a gearbox mount from an early RX-8 (2003–2008) fit a later facelift RX-8 (2008–2012)?
The RX-8 ran as a single generation from 2003 to 2012, with a facelift arriving for the 2008 model year that brought trim and cosmetic changes rather than a fundamental drivetrain redesign. In principle the gearbox and its mounting arrangement remained based on the same platform, but whether a specific mount from a pre-facelift car crosses to a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as ancillary and mounting detail changes mid-production are possible and we cannot state these as fact.
Does it matter whether my RX-8 has the manual or automatic gearbox when buying a used gearbox mount?
Yes, this matters — the six-speed manual and the four-speed automatic are physically different transmissions, so their mounts and mounting points are not the same. Always tell the breaker which gearbox type your car has, and ideally supply your registration or engine code so they can cross-reference the correct mount for your specific drivetrain.
Do RX-8 trim levels like PZ, R3, or Kuro affect which gearbox mount I need?
Trim level does not affect gearbox mount fitment — the PZ, R3, Kuro, and other RX-8 trim grades all share the same basic drivetrain architecture, so the mount is determined by gearbox type (manual or automatic) and model year rather than by badge. You may find cosmetic differences between cars stripped by the breaker, but the mounting hardware itself is not trim-specific.
What details should I give a breaker when asking for an RX-8 gearbox mount?
The most useful details are your registration number, your engine code (found on the V5C or via a VIN check), and whether your car has the manual or automatic gearbox. Providing the model year is also helpful given the 2008 facelift boundary, and the more information you supply upfront, the better the breaker can confirm the correct part before it is shipped to you.
Are there any RX-8 variants that do not have a gearbox mount at all?
No — every RX-8 sold in the UK is rear-wheel drive with a conventional gearbox, so all variants have a gearbox mount regardless of engine power output (192 bhp or 231 bhp) or trim level. There is no front-wheel-drive or electric variant of the RX-8 that would change this, so a gearbox mount is always a valid part to search for on this model.
