Track whores with MRs?

Totally different transmission. To swap the 5-spd into an MR you actually need a $450 conversion kit as well.

Not really, although I just bought mine from Shep with new gearing and REM treatment. Of course I managed to blow my 5th gear syncros on the built transmission after running 20 sessions over 2 days at my last track event.

its may not be so hard to find someone with a good 5 speed to trade with.
I may consider doing a swap with a 6speed since I probably will not be putting the car in situations that someone else would. i am sure there are others like me out there.
that way both people will benefit from having all the parts for the swap. its just having someone local or else shipping stuff will be too much of a headache

FYI, I am bumping this thread because someone linked to it in the Shep thread. My original 6 speed now has 167,000 miles on it and it's still going strong. I have used the Castrol SynTorq LT exclusively since 12,000 miles. I have an upgraded Shep 6 speed going in soon, but that's only because I don't want to blow it up with a 2.3.
Oh, and my 2nd gear still doesn't grind. I heart Castrol SynTorq LT.
