Research notes
Caveats and conflicts (4)
- Retailer years start 2000; header also lists C59. GT-S 6-speed (C60) not part of this row.
- Header of the retailer page also lists C59.
- Maker is Aisin AI for Toyota (Wikipedia Toyota R/C series pages). SMT (sequential) was the alternative US gearbox.
- Maker is Aisin AI for Toyota (Wikipedia Toyota R/C series pages). SMT (sequential) was the alternative US gearbox. Wikipedia MR2 article says the US 2003 MY got a 6-speed manual and mentions C65-01B for the 2004 LSD, which conflicts with mr2wiki; those look like non-US (Europe/Japan) items, not resolved.
