Author: |

Toyota supra is meaningless without its famous manual transmission. Also, this company has recently introduced its newest supra with six-speed manual transmission. So far, it was a mystery who is behind this technology, but it seems the problem is solved.

As one Toyota spokesperson revealed, "parts used in the gearbox come from a combination of ZF-manufactured manual transmissions, but the parts combination is exclusive to GR Supra."

This famous automaker with close partnership with ZF and BMW has done fascinates thing. That includes "design/layout of shift lever/pedal, the decision of final gear ratio, tuning of the intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) function, and shift feel.". just for comparing, the six-speed MT of Toyota supra is coded as GS6L50TZ, while GS6L40LZ is the code for BMW Z4 with 2.0-liter four-banger sDrive20i.

GS6L50TZ is not a meaningless code. In fact, GS6 stands for six-speed manual, Z is the manufacturer (ZF). The "L40L" and "L50T" are in their transmission type and gearset.

Also, the rev-match function is available for Toyota iMT to ensure the perfect performance in downshifting. The drive ratio is shorter than 3.46. that means better take-off and in-gear acceleration.

The six-speed MT is delicate to inline-six-powered Toyota Supra.the four-cylinder engine uses automatic-transmission.

The 2023 Toyota Supra A91-MT will be debuted with all the new generation of other Supra’s. the price tag is not announced yet, but the stick-shift model is limited to 500 units painted in either CU Later Gray or Matte White.
