Shep only rebuilds them to stock spec. He sold all of the custom gear sets.
The only reason I built mine was to see how far I can push the trans at the Texas Mile again. I was in 6th for over a half mile. With the FD change 5th will top out at 191 and 6th will be 236. My goal is 190+

Also do you have all upgraded gears/syncros with the custom FD, or are you just better oiling system to the factory gears/syncros that are in the trans?

I'm using all factory pieces. I was just going to replace the 4th syncro but after I read the FSM I had to replace the 3/4 hub and slider. Then once I went to order the parts they informed me I have to replace them as a set(3rd syncros, hub/slider and 4th syncro).
I'm not sure if that applies to the 9MR.
Chef-j I'll give you a ride when it is done. It will be a little brutal with the QM but other than that it will feel the same.

And even if you do break it, 6spds are rather cheap to come by. A low mileage mint one can be had for something like $600 to $800. And mitsu has all the parts needed to rebuild one as well. Unlike the tcase which only comes as a unit.

My 6 speed had ZERO issues in the 3 years/30k that I put on it. Launched under 40x Id say. Never a grind or a peep. That was with 100+autox events and many street pulls. I am in the middle of looking to buy another evo and it will probably be a ix se. The 6 speed is so damn smooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think if you put an oil cooler and the best trans oil recommended for the 6speed (ask an expert, not randoms on this forum) you stand a good chance of having your trans live through some light duty track use at moderate power. Especially if your tuner is aware of your trans issue and makes a nice smooth torque curve instead of a massive sledgehammer hit of torque.

Shep said build starts at 780 and should hold 350~400tq with fresh fluid. Humm that im guessing it will be better than normal 6spds?

I had 86k miles, been through 2 stock clutches and was on a ACT hdss, 30+ drag launches (not including previous owners), 15 full road course days, etc. It was great, never had a problem. Until one fateful day.....

I have driven plenty of 5 speed evos I know the trans can hold more power, but the trans shifting feels like crap, and can't compare to the 6 speeds shifting. Also I love to mod my car, plus I got the 05 MR knowing they only made about a 1000 of them, I just like to know I'm keeping it an MR still, and if I didnt really want a My MR I would of just got a regular 5 speed EVO. So think I'm going to show the doubtful what the 6 speed can really do.
