I'm not worried about the noise i'm worride for my pocket

 

I have been in contact with albins and with the company that originally developed the kit and they are supposedly working on a new version of it.... hence nothing for sale at the moment..

 

That's what albins told me too about the new gearkit development :" you can call it upgrad for the upgrad .. But it take time it is right now in developing"

 

Also you can look at that date ... Since march

 

Cool man, thanks for the update!

 

So there is still hope for the 6 speed

 

yea interesting - so these albins are new gears for the 6 speed? I got mine serviced by TRE, no problems so far

 

Albins gearkit is promise to solve the 6 speed problem in 3-4-5 gears

 

What do you mean by smoother? I've never drove a 6 speed but on my 5 speed it can feel somewhat notchy not terrible or hard to get into gear but just a tad. Is that what you are referring to?

 

From my experience, yes. Have you ever driven a manual transmission Honda? Particularly the B series. The six speed is not as smooth as that, but it is a heck of a lot closer than the Notchey five-speed LOL.

Six speed feels awesome.

All this information gives me hope, I would like to put a six speed back on next time I have to deal with the clutch. If not sooner.

 

Yes, I think the 5 speed is notchy as hell, and I personally hated it compared to the buttery smooth 6 speed. Plus, the 5th gear on the 5 speed is

But hey, some people don't want to spend $4,000 to $6,000 on the 6 speed upgrade (that's how much it cost me when it was all said and done).

 

I disagree PPG stuff is WAY overpriced for what it is & the power rating isnt that high either (even though we all know torque is the killer of gearboxes) The money spent on that gearset to still have H pattern shift is silly! Better off putting a bit extra to a sequential box that can handle more grunt IMO.
Straight cut gears are fine for the track but stupidity for a street car. I hope Albins do improve the 6 speed gearset as i also want to keep my 6 speed for the street.

 

my 5spd isn't even in the car yet, and I already miss the 6. LOL

 

keep the 6!

i used to run the shep 5 speed with ultimate ratio - was nice, but the 6 gears are very smooth

 

I can't. It fell victim to the previous owner and her lack of maintenance. When I put it in gear and let out the clutch, the car goes nowhere and it sounds like broken glass LOL.

I was going to have it repaired/upgraded, but that is nowhere in my budget. A complete 5spd swap is cheaper. Sucks.
