I wonder if the company they used is going to replicate the engine mounts for sale?

I figured the transmission case would be identical b/w the GE and GD

Is it really that difficult to change/flush the tranny fluid? Just curious, I've always heard clutch type > helical LSD for performance, but helical > clutch for ease of ownership.

My bad...I wonder if these would fit the GE? Maybe someone curious enough could ask Hasport?

ATS/Across offers a LSD in carbon (believe metal as well, but I would pick up the carbon) for the GE. I'm just waiting for them to also release their carbon super single clutch as well before going forward with purchasing.

From ATS/Across webpage, part numbers for the carbon LSD...

GE8 L15A MT F OP CHFB87100¥140,700 1.5 Way
CHFC87100¥156,450 1 Way

Hard to say. Anyone got a stock USDM GE8 open differential sitting around? I can measure it and let u know if they're the same as GD.

Not too hard to change the tranny fluid if u know what u're doing.

Just saying it's hardcore to run Moton/JRZ/Ohlins etc. Hope that's a winning car with such high prep.

I thought about ATS carbon clutch & LSD myself. But after talkin to some local guy who used that I changed my mind. Some of them had issue with the carbon LSD like internal broken into pieces??? Another friend who got a Miata track car had problem with a brand new set of ATS carbon clutch and had tons of issues trying to get it exchange? That's one of the reason I recommend to people to go with Quaife or Mfactory. Just because they sell good quality products and got good after-sale service.
