    I sent a message to Mitsu's U.S. PR person as well. He said, "looking into it."

    Bummer that it shows only Mirage/Attrage as the cars that use it.

    The Aisin BC5 is listed as being used in the Toyota Yaris/Vitz. Other sources show those cars using Toyota "C"-series transmissions, which are built by Aisin. So, I'm wondering if gearbox internals are interchangeable between Aisin built units?

    The MTF capacity of those Toyotas is 1.9 L while Mirage has 1.6 L, I wonder if our MT are really identical.

    Confirmed: "The Mirage transmission is built by Aisin Seiki."

    I keep thinking about this thread and wondering about that holy grail taller 5th gear set.

    Yes, I know we can theoretically get a taller 5th from the Euro-spec Mirage/Space Star.

    But imagine if it was as easy as popping the external cover off and swapping in a gearset from a wrecked Yaris that you could find at your local junkyard.
