1-6 straight cut. That thing will whine, but some of us love that sound. I can't see buying a $20,000 transmission for a $30,000 car, though.

Yeah agreed but it would be cheaper than spending $20k on a transmission then putting it in a $70,000 car.

Yeah, but the $70,000 car might actually need it. Think of what $20,000 spent under the hood and throughout the suspension and drivetrain of the BRZ would do for you. Sure the other guy has a nice sounding transmission, but you can't hear and neither can he because the roar of your actually powerful car would drown it out.

So what you are saying is you need to do $70,000 worth of mods to your BRZ/FRS/86 before you spend $20,000 on the gearbox?

No, I'd do $20,000 worth of suspension, brake, drive train and engine mods before I would waste it on that transmission, but, realistically, I wouldn't even do that much, maybe $5,000.
I would put that transmission in my GT-R if I folded bank like that, but right now it's all about getting it back on the road.

If its possible I wonder if an R154 swap would be cheaper than an auto with the full upgrades
