Do you think it's possible.... [true manual mode]
That our transmission will ever be tuned to have a true manual mode. I know the ecu tuners have all just said "we are working on it" if I recall correctly the automatic FRS/BRZ uses the same 6 speed auto that our car does and that car has a true manual mode with Rev-matching and good shift speeds. What do you guys think?

Yes, it is absolutely possible. We just need a tuner to dedicate enough time to properly rewrite the codes on the Transmission Control Unit.
A case in point, the new Lotus Evora 400 utilizes an optional six-speed automatic transmission (the same Toyota-derived unit from the Camry), and Lotus engineers were able to adjust the shift times down to 100ms while also allowing the transmission to operate in a true manual mode.

Yeah, I know a good amount of us are truly performance oriented and would buy it in a heartbeat, but it's all up to the tuners to decide if it is worth it.
I wonder how much more work it is compared to the engine tune that both companies were able to put out.

I wonder (probably extremely unlikely) if we could just swap the two units... unless Lotus did some internal changes?[/QUOTE]
Lotus uses a transaxle. If you read about lotus IPS you will see that all the internals are directly from the camry so it's just the programming that lotus does.

Interesting. Wonder if someone would be willing to experiment with this. If the transmission units are identical I don't see why this wouldn't work...
