Is the AT different between the 2019 86GT and BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Busybee · 10-09-2018, 05:17 PM

Hi guys,

I am not an expert in the transmission and wanted to ask you guys whether there is a difference between the two?

Toyota describes its automatic as "6-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i), sequential shift mode with Dynamic Rev Management and paddle shifters" and Subaru as "AT with smooth shifting manual shift mode technology"

Is there anything worth to consider in these descriptions?

Thanks

From what I know, the trans are both sourced from Toyota's lexus IS platform

Of course there is a difference, the AT in the 86 is better -

The only difference is that Toyota obviously likes to use more buzzwords in the description.

That's just how Toyota likes to bill their autos.

The differences between the cars are with the exterior (mainly front fascia and badges), some interior trim bits and suspension tuning.

The rest is pretty much the same.
