The automatic in the 86 is based off the excellent automatic in the Lexus ISF. That is the quickest shifting auto in the Industry. There is nothing in this car based off of anything in the miata.
Leeky said the transmission was based off the LFA's single clutch automated manual gearbox. That is still possible since there are cheap cars that have dual clutch trannies...ie ford focus, and Hyundai veloster. They could have put in a single clutch tranny In the 86. We will find out by wensday.
But my gut from what I have seen is isf based tranny.
The Porsche dual clutch tranny (pdk) shifts faster and the Porsche 911 is faster with the 7 speed pdk vs the 7 speed manual.
I think people who choose the auto will be happy...
Me? Manual is the only way...
