The 6MT is geared quite low.....but the spacing between the gears, even overdrive 6th is actually quite tight..... for more relaxed cruising the AT rear end or the lexus rear end would drop rpms a bit, at a cost of acceleration down low..... My suggestion..buy the TOYOTA or Subaru part....literally the same part as Lexus, but without the premium price markup......assuming the lexus part is $1100, it wouldn't surprise me if the Scion part was 1/2 that.....
