Technically neither of them are from Toyota, they are both made by Aisin, though Toyota Motor Corp owns 51% of Aisin. Aisin is the largest transmission manufacturer on earth. The manual is the Aisin AZ6 and it's widely regarded as one of the best manual transmissions ever made. It's definitely my favorite. The Manual is a modified version of the same tranny that is in the S2000, Miata, RX8 and Altezza (IS).
