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.

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.

clutch bleeding

Hi all I have a 2010 lancer evolution GSR and I’m having issues trying to bleed my clutch. Can anybody help me out as what should I do? I’ve tried bleeding and still do not have a good pressure on my clutch pedal.

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.

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.
