3rd gen 2zr swap with 6 speed - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah pretty happy with it so far and still kind of surprised that everything worked with no error codes popping up.

Regarding the EC60 box. Here's my list of pros and cons for anyone considering one, and I'd strongly suggest driving a Scion IM/Corolla before committing.

Pros
- Good shift feel
- Easily accessible in Australia
- Quaife diff available
- The only 6 speed box that's going to bolt into a Yaris without modification to the chassis rail
- Perfectly fine for every day driving
- It's not an automatic LOL

Cons
- Requires custom or GRMN shifter cables
- Requires GRMN gearbox mount
- Short first gear (I find myself changing at around 20 - 25km/h)
- Concentric slave cylinder - which can actually be a positive for pedal feel
- High clutch engagement point
- Limited to no heavy duty clutch options
- Limited aftermarket flywheel options
- 6th gear ratio isn't really any better than the 5th gear ratio in a 5 speed box. You're just getting one extra gear jammed in the mix.
- No short shifter options or upgrades for the shifter cage

I do know about the MWR options for clutches and flywheels. Though expensive options for Australia and I'd rather try and use the OuterPlus flywheel from Japan vs the MWR option. Though I wasn't about to drop $1000 on a flywheel :)
