Ive been searching for a 5spd trans to upgrade and put into my Evo IX since I hate the oem trans grinds. I keep finding Evo 8 transmissions that state they should be the same.... Are they? I done want to spend $$$$ on a trans then find it has to be modded or simply won't work. Thanks guys

 

Why not rebuild the tranny that's in the car now? Do you have an MR?

 

Yes any 5 speed trans from an VIII or IX GSR or RS will bolt right up. The VIII and IX have a lil different gearing but either will work without issue

 

the ratios aren't the same

 

Always good to have a backup and I would rather not have to be without my Evo for a month while the trans is rebuilt. This way it can all be done in the same day. It's a GSR 5 spd

 

I did a copmplete search about 5spd you can find it below
