I don't know how to launch nor would I have the ***** to learn on the evo, so I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be happening any time soon. I'm guessing you're the guy to go to if I need a tranny rebuild LOL I'll keep that in mind

 

Well I also have a stock VIII 5 speed for sale if you decide you want to go 5speed.

haha, I probably have over 150 launches with my 2 step set between 6000-6300 in my 6 spd!

PM me with details sir...

 

I don't have much to add accept it's all with what you want to do with it. If some light modifications are in your future and you won't see over 400tq, and rarely ever launch it, you'll be fine. The 6 is a much nicer shifting trans, and has a little higher gear ratio that helps alot with the highway drone if you have a loud exaust too.

Personally, 6-speed or not, don't let that sway your decision if you don't have any lofty goals. It's more important that you found a DAMN NEAR STOCK car. Just that alone is work serisously looking at it.

 

BJ you are lucky as shiz. Some people haven't had problems and some break on the first launch. If you spin it prob would break...

BJ I'll send you the info on the Tranny.

Shep now also upgrades the 6 speeds......but its a quite a bit of money. From what the OP described as his goals, i'd say get the car (if all else checks out).

 

AFAIK, 1st and 2nd are stronger on the 6-speed.

 

Thanks for all the input guys, going to look at the car in 2 days, I'll be sure to post any questions about things I hear, see or am just worried about for some more feedback.

 

wouldn't the clutch go before the tranny if you were beating it that hard?

 

Also post some pics if you get the chance.

 

He also mentioned that he thinks the stock clutch is in it, but isn't 100% sure, second owner. Is there any quick way to check what clutch is in it?
