I'm so jealous! I'd love to have mine built, but I'm having trouble justifying the cost when I have a 5spd swap just sitting in my garage...

I had 430/388 on my last setup, no problems. Finishing up the new build and had planned on going with a built transmission. Love my 6 speed 🤙🏼

never going 5 against for my car. i absolutely love my 6 speed, coming from a built, shep trans with ultimate ratios. that is perfect for a track car, which mine is not

Same here. Mine grinds 3rd and 4th, so it has to come out in favor of the 5spd.

PAR are cutting the gear for me. Its going to be a "quiet spec" straight cut gear for strength. I will post up a comparison of the stock ratios and the 4.3 that im getting.

Should be fine as long as you have the torque to deal with the larger gap between gears. . On road courses, I find myself using 5th quite a bit. I'd like to be able to stay in 4th.
Actually... I wish we could pick our gearing for each. I'd run a super tall 1st, closer ratio up to 5th, then keep a tall 6th for the days I have to drive to the track LOL.

I will be at the mercy of stock block torque unfortunately. But i think the lil 7670 should be up to the task of keeping it on the boil 😊

I’m definitely the odd one who will be going back to the 6 speed for my MR after swapping in a 5 speed. I’ve had my old transmission rebuilt by Jacks with their gear set and will be installing a trans cooler this time

You have to fab one up. I made a parts list and started to collect fittings until my 6spd started acting up.
If someone is still doing rebuilds on the future, I'll have mine done. If not...sequential?
😁
I dislike the 5spd that much. LOL

That’s why I’m going back to the six speed! I also had a JDM 5th year. 4100 rpm at 80mph is a bit excessive, but pulls with an older Z06
