Yes it's possible.

just swap? what else is needed?

 

 

just buy the MR and transfer everything. that might be cheaper.

 

t-case is the same, just the tranny is different, cables, shifter, etc...

 

I would question why you would want to ? And is the thousands of dollars in cost worth the gear ratio change. It also sucks horrid for dragstrip on even a very mild car.

 

why do you want a 6 speed. it want help you go faster.

 

geeze beat a man up for asking. if i blow up my trans i know im going to replace the 5 speed with 6, or possibly a dog box

 

im not planning to swap. i just want to know if its possible. thanks for the input guys!

 

I think everyone is attacking you because you really havent explained a reason why you want the 6speed? The 5speed is better for drag racing, thats a fact. A dog box is for serious high power drag racing and is NOT really a street transmission...

 

everyone in this forum drag races (thats really all your gonna get answers for is alot of drag racing stuff) . . . . go with the dog box, thats what im tryin to save money for

 

why was i under the impression that the MR 6spd tranny is much stronger? Is it proven not to be the case then?

 

It;s not that either trans is better or worse. The drag racers on here will tell you the 5 speed is better. This is only because the gear ratios are better for drag. There are a lot more drag racers here than track racers so their collective voice is louder and therefore may seem correct. At the strip, drivers never see 5th gear. if they see it at all, it is only the beginning. So there is also no need for a 6th gear.

The 5 speed has had its share of problems as far as bad synchros and faulty transfer cases. the tc problems were found and fixed mostly in 03s but drivers with 05s are still reporting grinding and faulty engagment associated with worn gears and synchros. The 5 speed is built by Mitsu.

The MR trans is better set up gear ratio wise for tracking. I have not heard many complaints about the MR trans. This may be because there are fewer MRs and even fewer members with MRs. But the MR trans is also not built by Mitsu. I had a GSR, but i have driven an MR and RS on the track. The track is definitely where the MR belongs and shines. The MR trans better handles the low end torque associated with pulling out of turns at the track. It also has teflon coated shifter cables that shift amazingly.

 

Agree with the above. If your going to roadrace or autox, it's possible the gear ratios are better with the 6sp. I have to question if it's worth the cost to upgrade vs the benifit. finding a crashed MR is going to be HARD, so expect to pay out the nose for a 6sp compared to rebuilding/replacing the 5sp.

A freshly rebuilt 5sp with corrrectly adjusted clutch should shift very well, so I can't see "shift quality" being enough of a reason to swap.

Granted, Im a dragracer, Im biased to 5sp. I want even taller gears than the 5sp has, would love to do 135mph in 4th on normal tires.
