Fitment questions

Does the Mazda RX-8 have a transfer box?

No — the Mazda RX-8 is a rear-wheel-drive only vehicle and was never offered in a four-wheel-drive variant, so it was never fitted with a transfer box at any point in its production run (2003–2012). If you are searching for a transfer box for an RX-8, it is likely you are looking for a different part — possibly the gearbox, differential, or propshaft instead. Contact a breaker with your registration and describe the symptom or job you are trying to complete, and they will point you to the correct part.

Could there be a transfer box on an RX-8 with the 13B engine?

No — all RX-8 variants used the 13B Wankel rotary engine and all were rear-wheel drive, regardless of engine state of tune (192 PS or 231 PS) or gearbox type (six-speed manual or four-speed automatic). A transfer box is a component used in four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive drivetrains to split drive between axles, and the RX-8 drivetrain has no such system. If your concern relates to the transmission, a breaker can help you identify the correct gearbox or differential using your registration.

I've seen a transfer box listed for an RX-8 online — is that correct?

It is almost certainly a mislabelled listing — the RX-8 is rear-wheel drive only and has no transfer box in its drivetrain. Sellers occasionally misidentify parts, and 'transfer box' can sometimes be confused with the gearbox, rear differential, or associated components. We'd recommend contacting a breaker directly with your registration number so they can confirm the exact part you need and ensure it matches your vehicle.

What part should I actually be looking for instead of a transfer box on my RX-8?

Depending on your symptoms or the repair needed, the parts most commonly associated with drivetrain issues on the RX-8 are the gearbox (six-speed manual or four-speed automatic depending on your spec), the rear differential, or the propshaft. Quoting your registration or engine code to a breaker will help them identify the exact unit that suits your vehicle's specification. If you are unsure which part is at fault, a mechanic's diagnosis before ordering is always advisable.
