JDM RS gears + 6th in a 6-spd. box?
I noticed on their site that TRE now carries the JDM RS close ratio 5-spd. gearsets. Can these be used as the 1-5 gears in a 6-spd. box along with a slightly overdriven 6th gear? Or, is this not doable?

Thanks for pointing that out. Now that you mention it I remember reading that the 5-spd gears are thicker. So I guess that a 6th gear wouldn't fit.
