I got a 6 speed shift base since my shell did not come with one and my car was a 5 speed model with 5 speed cables and a 5 speed tranny. Can I make the shift box work with what I have?

 

no they use different cables, they are not interchangable

 

Damn theres no way to modify it or something to work with my 5 speed? The left to right cable works fine but theres a problem with the bigger, Up and down cable. I would really hate to have to spend more money on another shifter box when I just bought this one.

 

no you gotta remember that the 6 speed's gear changing set-up on the trans is different then the 5 speed.

i would look in the for sale section under part outs. you could find a 5 speed shifter box. you can get them under 100 bucks usually. the 6 speed one is going to be no use to you bro

 

Make it easy on yourself and don't try to reinvent the wheel.

 

Lol..I have been looking for a 5 speed shifter for days and nothing.
