If they ever came out with a 6MT with more than an utterly pathetic 168hp I'd jump all over it.
Will snap photo after work.
I've got no issues with power with my 2019 OS/RVR with the manual 5 speed. The 2.0 is so smooth and loves to rev. It would be really nice to use the 6 speed MT from the UK Eclipse Cross because the ratios are closer and the overdrive ratio is much higher (4th, 5th & 6th are all overdrive ratios) but overall my OS/RVR is a hoot to drive. Here is the breakdown between the two transmissions.
Transmission Model: F5MBB
Engine Model: 4B11
Transmission Type: 5 speed, floor shift
Transmission gear ratio:
1st: 3.833
2nd: 1.913
3rd: 1.333
4th: 1.028
5th: 0.82
Reverse: 3.583
Transmission Model:- F6MBC
Engine Model:- 4B40
Transmission Type:- 6speed, floor shift.
Transmission gear ratio
1st: 3.833
2nd: 2.047
3rd: 1.303
4th: 0.975
5th: 0.744
6th: 0.659
Reverse: 3.545
