The Mazda RX-8 can reach a top speed of 145 mph. It's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to prevent issues like strange noises coming from the transmission. If the transmission fluid is old, it can sound terrible. A worn-out torque converter can lead to headaches. The transmission is a crucial part of the car and problems are bound to happen eventually. You might encounter stuck gears, jerking, hard shifts, shudders, delayed shifts causing acceleration issues, or even slipping. It's important to promptly fix any transmission fluid leaks.
I believe it's marked as 145, but in my previous version, I was at 160 back in '05.
The factory specifications for a Mazda RX8 note that its maximum speed is 145 miles per hour.
