It was an MR2 Spyder w/ a 1ZZ-FE and 5 speed. IMO the transmission shouldn't have much to do with it, because they're both cable throttle so you have similar engine deceleration off throttle.
If you're messing with an electronically controlled throttle, then yea maybe it's a good idea to have a transmission that shifts well in case you don't have the transient behavior dialed in.
