Why a 4spd not 5spd AT - Toyota Yaris Forums

would be nice....but to engineer a new transmission when the 4AT is fine isnt in toyota's best interest....besides, it works better for yaris owners if you ever need to replace the tranny....can grab one from an echo, xA or 1st gen xb as well as yaris....

Yep, i like the fact that our engine/transmission has been around for a while, replacements or rebuilds shouldn't be that hard to come across
