The evo that I am getting has an MR 6 speed in it. I was wondering if I had to get the MR short shifter, or are the 5 and 6 speed shifters thew same?

 

not the same, still waiting for Works and B&M to come out with one

 

Oh, I forgot to add that it is a 2003 with an MR 6 speed.

 

hmmm, not sure, thats a good question, i guess you should be able to tell right away when you get the car

 

A 2003 with a 6spd? Interesting...

Anyway, there are no short-shifters for the 6spd yet, and no, the ones for the 5spd cannot be used.

 

i wondered about putting a 6 speed in mine. Is it better?

 

^i love it!

 

how hard would it be to get....price wise and what not. it should bolt right in right

 

i think the transfer case is a little different, price is like 4-5k or something

 

There's no 2003 MR 6 speed.

 

The price to add a 6spd along with the corresponding transfer case, shifter cables, and shifting assembly would be prohibitive. You could just sell your 03 and get an 05 MR at 0% for much less and with new tires, new brakes, new clutch, etc...

 

thats what i thought?

 

He's saying it's an 03 with a 6spd installed.

 

screw that. I like mine too much and I havent even had it that long. never had a 6 speed before so i dont think I care.

 

The guy that has it put a 6 speed in it, it is not an MR. Just a regular 2003 evo with a 6 speed swaped into it.
