consult any local warehouse thar deal in such or can order for u..
u need to make up ur mind if u want a 5speed or a 6speed first..
most people switch to a 5 after blowing the 6 speed..

i read about it having better ratios and longevity

I bought a new 5 speed from STM in May - shipped to my door. Then I needed a drive shaft and there wasn't one in the country. STM had that to me in 10 days.

yup stm are realy good, basically they have everything you might need,
only problem is i find them a little bit more expensive.

well the 6 speed seems more convenient since i high way cruise it a bunch. 5 seems to be the smart choice but 6 is maybe a better dd trans?

If theres anymore that rebuilt a 6 stronger or changed around gearing in a 5, id love to hear from them and what they went by.

5 speed with 4.11FD is awesome on the highway

The 5 speed is stronger, and a lot of different shops have rebuilt and reinforced transmissions that have tighter tolerances, different input shafts, and so on.

Jacks Transmissions has a page where they have the ratios for the 5 speeds with different final drives.

Im currently debating which direction I want to go when I switch all that stuff out, currently I am thinking Jacks.

Buschur also does new transmissions and their website says that the transmission is revised. Here is the link for the 6 speed.

I think what most people go with is a 5 speed with a taller FD. I know I bought my car with a buschur 5 speed and it takes abuse quite well.
