I believe the main problem with the 6 speeds is that there just isn't enough room in the t-case for 6 gears and an adequate amount of oil. Having your tranny rebuilt by shepard or tre and adding an oil cooler should help a ton. Theres really no need to swap in a 5 speed unless your car is making well over 400whp and driven hard often.

well I have been using ams oil in with a stock Mitsubishi oil cooler .. never had problems.. I guess regular servcing wil make things better. if I had extra money on the side I will make shepherd build a 6 speed gear box stronger for me...

I may end up doin that same thing, my transfer case has 0 whine and in good shape, but yea I may get the buschwacker trans rebuild but if anyone has any reviews or objections on the buschwacker trans please post.

Sure, but it's hard to find a good stock one with low miles that hasn't been destroyed. That's why I don't wanna let mine go. I had an 8, and I don't want the 10.

the oil cooler doesn't help out transmissions. that's for engine oil only.
