Also don't forget that those 20lbs could be easily shaved from lightweight rotors, lightweight rims, coilovers and from exhaust.

86 transmission weights 86 lbs.
T56 weights around 185 lbs. (Source, I got sent a T56 when I had originally purchased a TR6060 for my swap and I had to weight it in order to ship it back).
It's not a bad weight penalty, as it's weight literally under the middle of the car which helps lower the COG, but it's definitely not a 20 lbs penalty, more like 100.
