The transmission also features a manual mode operated via a pair of paddles. Downshifts are accompanied by automated throttle blips to match engine RPM to vehicle speed." This transmission is sweet...throttle blips are going to be fun :cool: ScarecroW 04-17-2007, 03:03 AM The sounds like a great transmission. Closet to a manual you could get that lexus offers. I think the 0-60's will be in the 4.6 range. Lets hope anyways. They just need to keep the weight down. Flipside909 04-17-2007, 03:24 AM Regardless of the weight, the IS-F's gearing and power should hold it's own. :) Mii 04-23-2007, 10:39 PM What kind of transmission does IS-F employ? Is it similar to LS600H, or some variant of double clutch gear box? ride450 07-23-2007, 08:07 PM similar to the LS transmission it is not a double clutch system.

Already you can see this is the number one knock on blogs and forums regarding the IS-F, a performance sedan without a manual transmission. mainliner 09-15-2007, 10:07 PM If I was running Lexus I still would of offered a tight 6 speed manual box, they are going to lose buyers because of this.

Could you justify the cost of developing a manual transmission, when less then 10% of your car would be sold with the transmission in them? A manual transmission is great for a weekend drive, not so nice in traffic.

A manual transmission is great for a weekend drive, not so nice in traffic. For a sports sedan like this I would think your going to sell more then 10% in a manual, and your going to get buyers that wouldn't buy a auto tran car. This isn't a 7 series BMW, people who buy this car buy it for the joy of driving and paddels take some of the joy out of driving for a lot of people who this car targets. That's my 2 cents and how I feel, and I am somoene this car targets. I'll test drive it since they claim 100ms shift times and that is hella fast but I would probably still buy a manual if they offered it.

Do you have data about the tranny weight ? Thanks | ||
