I assume the AZ6 can be tweaked per manufacturer specs. Can anyone shed light on what might vary from say the S2000 (apparently it is also used in the Miata, Rx-8 and IS-200/Altessa). I'm guessing ratios and shift logic and probably something affecting the feel of the shifting and shift throw length. Also consumer reports reports the s2000 tranny was far less reliable than the IS-200 or Miata. Any thoughts, sorry about a bit of a thread jack.
