Yea im not sure, I do know that Shep said something about the tilton messing up the 5 speed that I sent him.

Are you going to stick with the 6 speed? Why not swap in a 5 speed with ultimate gear set?

Are you talking to me or Fireball? B/c i've had a shep 5 speed in my car since last summer, I sold my broken 6 speed to Fireball so he could send it in to TRE and have a back up.

When you start getting into the 4.11 gears and what not the price starts going up by the thousands, so i thought the regular shep 5 with the evo9 first gear would be good enough for me

I'm sticking with the 6spd in my car because I find the gearing perfect for me. Since I am not, nor will ever plan to make in excess of 400 ft/lbs of torque and probably no more than 400-450 hp, Jon @ TRE has said that his modifications to the 6spd will easily hold up to that.

On road courses, the 6spd seems to work great, compared to the 5spd, unless you're making all that power and go through the gears faster.

I also just love the way a 6spd shifts, vs a 5spd, even w/ short skift kits, etc. I've had quite a few miles on both and still perfer the 6.

I use to think that the 6 speed was better as well...until i drove sheps 5 speed, it might be smoother and easier than my 6 speed

^ I've driven both they feel the same to me. I prefer the EVO8 3rd and 4th gear but that is correctable. When I do my clutch I plan to toss the above mentioned gears in my EVO9 5 speed. I think that truly makes the ultimate tranny.

EDIT: BTW the comment was directed at NEZ as I didn't know he already swapped. But if I was fireball I would stick with the ultimate 5 speed myself.

Nez, did you check out Dunlop Star Spec and Khumo XS? Those are great tires with slightly cheaper price.

Thanks to the RE11, I got a set of RE01 for $500 at a close out price.
