think you'd need clutch flywheel etc  :undecided:  6 Speed's run a larger diameter clutch

Personally its a lot of work for no real gain.  5 speed ratios are much better than the 6 speed though apparently the 6 speed boxes are stronger  :undecided:

don't know

would you also need the driveshafts from the 6 speed box  :undecided:  not sure if they're different sizes.  Only guessing here I'm afraid  :sad:
