I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the AT transmission for FT86. After doing some digging on the forum, I read somewhere that it'll be based on the IS-F 8Speed AsinAW transmission, how far is this true?
On the most recent leaks, it says 'Downshift spring control'. Couldn't find any information on that either. Any idea what that means?
Any information on shift times? Will it RevMatch?
Again, thanks for this amazing forum guys.

Since I think I'm one of the few that actually bothers to look at the automatic >_>... currently based on like two or three reviews that actually drove the Subaru BRZ (erm test model), its most likely based on the Lexus IS transmission; however, it may be more likely be towards the IS350 (already a 6-speed transmission) than the IS-F. I can be hopeful and hope they bring more technology from the IS-F but mm... well depends on the overall cost of the car at the end, no?
Nevertheless, most of the reviews say they found it a nice automatic though one prefers the manual.
