Default RC 350 FSport Trans specs?

Does anyone know the manufacturer of the RC 350 FSport's transmission (MY2018) and the transmission's model designation/number? I have searched high and low for this info but can't find it anywhere.

Any assistance gratefully received.

Thanks,

Nicholas.

OK for those interested, the RC 350 FSport is apparently fitted with an Aisin-Warner AA81E transaxle, which appears to be a re-worked version of what is claimed to be the world's first 8-speed trans, the AA80E. Info about the latter here:

Not only RC350. GS350, RC350, IS350 RWD models are all fitted with AA81E
IS F, RC F, and GS F all have AA80E.
