I did the swap...works great! I still need a 6 speed center console...lmk if anyone has 1

I just contacted shep for a 5 to 6-speed conversion... waiting to hear... we'll see what I decide to do... whatever I do decide.. this is turning out to be an expensive endeavor... with my 2.3l conversion also... and whatever else I can figure out to do while my engine is pulled.... my wife is going to kill me!

my 6 speed is strong and im around 400whp

i just heard bad stories about the 6 speed especially for "spirited driving" Mitsubishi in essence put an extra gear into basically the same 5 speed casing. with the extra gear causes more moving parts which equals more heat. from some people i heard driving hard too long you overheat the transmission and start breaking. i mean i dont drive "spirited" all the time but i like the 5 speed for more insurance just because its strong. just my 2 cents however

The parts to go from 5 speed to 6 are over $600. including the 6 speed console. I have all the parts to do the swap, brand new.

Don

let me know if someone wants to trade their 5spd for my 6spd..

Dont do,it,bro!!! I did it just so I could drive it while 5speed was getting built... Garbage

Pooo
 

Def not worth the headache of changing cables shifter, mounts

I have a fresh never used shep 5 speed with ultimate ratio for sale:) comes with cables, mount shifter and everything needed to install in a 6 speed.car

I've been digging around for this and haven't found it. Anyone got a link?

I just bought a 6-speed and will hopefully have TRE rebuild it as I live close to them. The tranny came with the shifter cables, tranny mount and shifter mount. I'm probably going to get moderately crafty and dremel out my 5-speed center console so that the 6-speed shifter and boot will work. Unless I can find a 6 speed console for dirt cheap.

Want to trade? I'm going 6 speed to 5 speed soon

I would be interested IF, I had an Evo 5-speed that I was pulling out. I'm doing some wacky stuff and pulling the 5-speed f5m42 out of my Ralliart and putting in an Evo 6-speed. :spin:

Here is a decent guide from TeamRIP. I've never done it myself and don't have any tips for you. I'm sure there are plenty of YT videos too.
