JDM video was funny - I wonder why BRZ won over 86 by a rather big margin. I was surprised to see that.
How long has the *IS* trans been in production? That's what this trans is, ratios and all. They did NOT modify an IS-F trans to remove two gears for this car.

The MT has been in existence since at LEAST 1999. It's an Aisin AZ6. Each AZ6 is slightly different for each car but it's far from a new transmission.

BRZ>86 because of the drivers.
