Editing Evora Buyers Guide (section)

===Transmission===

The Evora has a range of gearbox options in the form of the standard 6-speed manual, optional Close Ratio 'Sport' gearbox, and IPS automatic. The Evora S gets the Sport ratios as standard, and as of MY12 was also offered with the IPS gearbox. 

While early Evora '[[Models - Evora#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]]' cars were fully loaded in terms of options, very few came with the close ratio gearbox.

The standard ratio box is somewhat long geared in the higher gears (1st and 2nd are identical in both gear sets), but offers improved fuel economy and may be an advantage if the car is to see regular motorway use.

One of the main criticisms in early Evora reviews was that of the poor gear linkage used by the manual gearbox. Improvements to this were reported have been made during the cars post-launch updates, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Evora S, so shift quality may vary depending on the age of the car. The updated gear linkages can be fitted to earlier cars, and in some cases where cars have suffered from poor shift quality have been fitted under warranty - it is well worth asking about this when buying a car, particularly if it's from a dealership.

There are currently no known major issues with the Evora's transmission, however there have been reports of unexplained noise from the cars drivetrain. Dealers have been known to dismiss this as 'within acceptable limits', and the cause is currently unknown.
