Most people who buy this car don't realize that ultimately, we have a Toyota Tacoma transmission. Whether we want to call it a TL70 or an RA62, it's still the same crappy manual RA60 transmission box found in the Toyota Tacoma.

Yes, We have a truck transmissions in our cars. As does the manual Lexus IS250 with a few "tweaks".

They "started" with a J160 which would of been great, it is a far more logical basis for the so-called Toyobaru coupe’s manual, having graced not only Toyota Altezza and 1st-generation Lexus IS 200 manual models, but such legendary sports cars as the Honda S2000, Mazda RX-8, 2nd-gen (NB) Mazda MX-5 Miata and the final S15 Nissan Silvia Spec-R.,

Instead they took a ra60, they replaced about 80% of the internals and ended up with what we call the "TL70".. shitty "modified" truck transmission..
