Probably never. I can't see Mitsubishi adding a manual tranny to the mix. They need the volume of Ralliart, Evo MR, and the ASX(probably) to acheive economies of scale for the SST.

I just don't see myself getting an evo x if the ralliart was available in a manual, since I don't track my car..

Listen, if it wasn't the transmission, it would be something else. There is always a bottleneck. It isn't like the transmission is the only difference between the Ralliart and the Evolution X, either. There are many, many things that make the Evolution superior to the Ralliart. Racing in a straight line is all well and good, but that isn't what these cars were designed to do. Try to keep up with an EVO around a track and tell me that a manual transmission would make all the difference.

how about never. idk why people keep thinking mitsu will put a standard in there.
and to whoever said putting the SST in the evo and RA are highly uneducated. the MR sells very well, just look in the evo X section theres MANY MR owners. and if i had a choice to get an evo id get an MR also. not everyone has to have a standard. as long as some people are able to control their gears like a standard, most will be fine.

The TC-SST I believe is a reason lots of people buy the RA. The WRX, MS3, Cobalt SS(turbo version) and Civic Si don't offer anything other then a manual transmission. I bought the RA for lots of other reasons but one of the main ones was that it comes in an auto which the fiancee preferred I get. If the RA was a 5 spd how many people would have went with the WRX, MS3 etc? I say quite a few. Just my $0.02

To be absolutely honest, I have not been impressed with what this company does with transmissions on a budget. From what I understand, the only difference between the 5-speed manual from the 3G Eclipse and the 6-speed manual from the 4G is a smaller, more-compact gear (they essentially took 5th gear and made it into two weaker gears or something along those retarded lines). I am fairly certain that both transmissions are able to bolt up to a standard 6g72 motor (because I am pretty sure that the 5-speed from the 3G bolts up to the 6g75 motor from the 4G Eclipse). I read that A LONG time ago on another forum, but I can try and source that information if requested. Bottom line, if you are unimpressed with what Mitsubishi can do with a TC-SST transmission (that should have come directly out of an MR), buckle your ****ing seat-belts for a new manual option (which definitely won't come out of the GSR). Fuel economy, here we come!
