I think so. I can't be sure of the Emira, but in the Evora, Lotus buys the transmission stock, and then replaces certain gears to get the ratios they want.

I’m well overdue doing this as I had the car home delivered 8th February but that has at least given me time to do 2600 miles and make sure it’s a keeper. For context I bought this to be a daily driver, to replace a BMW M5 which I had for two years, and only sold a couple of weeks ago to be...
