6 spd MT for the 2009 TS ????

Got the word from the local dealer that they will be getting a couple of the facelifted 2009 TS's before the end of the year.

Nothing surprising, except for the fact that they said the 2009 model comes with a 6spd tranny standard.

My first thought was that they were wrong as all the articles I've read about the 2009 model just mentioned the facelift (which I'm not a big fan of the look) but stated that the drive train remained unchanged.

Today I found this article about the Johannesburg International Motor Show and it mentions the 6speed
http://www.cartoday.com/content/news...ge.asp?in=9378

Can anyone of the of the European members confirm this news?

I'm not sure a 6speed will have much of advantage over the current C56 5speed as this one is already pretty short. But still it will be interesting to look into it.

it sure would! since i'm considering a C56 swap, a 6-speed would also be very attractive for my project.

I like the idea of closer gear ratios while still maintaining a tall top gear for interstate cruising. This is a sweet development...

That's right... but multiple drivetrain configurations on the same chasis would eventually open up the possibility of multiple swapping options.

Now we can say with a certain amount of confidence that a 1.8L 2ZR-FE engine swap into a US Yaris should be fairly easy. If you can source the engine/ecu from a wrecked Scion.

For the gains probably does not worth the money right now... but we will have to see how much love the 1.8 end up getting from the aftermarket community.

So far we are doing alright as we already have Richard's Manifold and NST Pulleys on the work table.

If we can actually make 145whp NA only with bolt ons as Richard has claimed... I would call that a start...

I'd just like the 6mt on the 1.5 so I can sit at a higher speed but lower RPM on the freeway.

You are 100% correct the 2009 has a 6spd manual box ,
taking one for a test drive in the week end if it arrives in time ,
otherwise it will be early next week ,will try and get photo's for all too see.

Please check on the plate on the drivers door.

The transmission used on the car should be stated there.

On the 2007-2008 would say C56

If this one comes with a 6speed it should say c60 or c160 or something like that.

That would share some light on the exact transmission used on the car.

Please also take some pictures of the engine bay.

And post all the specs you can find... I will like to know if there are any other difference.

not any more -- being pretty careful these days.

Most of my money is sitting in my warehouse, in the form of body kits, superchargers, high end coilovers, etc etc

Well,

It's confirmed. The 2009 Yaris TS comes equipped with a 6 speed man. Transmission.

The new transmission code is C67. Looks like this is a brand new transmission
just added to the Toyota C series.

The local dealer already brought a few 2009 cars.

Any ideas on what the gear ratios on the new C67 would be? I'm making a gearing spreadsheet for trans swap purposes, and have been using the gear ratios from the Gen III MR2 C66 trans as reference:
1st: 3.166
2nd: 1.904
3rd: 1.310
4th: 0.969
5th: 0.815
6th: 0.725
Final: 3.722

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the C60 has decent gearing too:
1st: 3.166
2nd: 2.050
3rd: 1.481
4th: 1.166
5th: 0.916
6th: 0.725
Final: ?

Perhaps the C67 will fall somewhere within this range? Let me know so I can complete the spreadsheet and share it with everybody.
