Check it out if you're looking for more info and some quote from the SRT guys involved with the development. Some interesting tidbits here and there, but not much new.

Interesting blurb:

Interesting blurb:
It seems we're getting a transmission that no US Spec Ford uses... go figure. Unless there's a 6-speed Ford vehicle that costs under $100,000 that I'm unaware of....The turbo motor sends thrust to the front wheels via a new six-speed manual gearbox, a Getrag-Ford unit, and a Torsen II limited-slip diff. Aside from six speeds — the previous SRT4 tranny had only five — the most appealing traits of this new gearbox (which uses a shift mechanism from the manual trans used in the European diesel version of the Caliber) are a crisp feel and a positive sense of engagement, traits conspicuously absent in the garden-variety Caliber tested in this issue.
