consult any local warehouse thar deal in such or can order for u..
u need to make up ur mind if u want a 5speed or a 6speed first..
most people switch to a 5 after blowing the 6 speed..

i read about it having better ratios and longevity

I bought a new 5 speed from STM in May - shipped to my door. Then I needed a drive shaft and there wasn't one in the country. STM had that to me in 10 days.

well the 6 speed seems more convenient since i high way cruise it a bunch. 5 seems to be the smart choice but 6 is maybe a better dd trans?

If theres anymore that rebuilt a 6 stronger or changed around gearing in a 5, id love to hear from them and what they went by.

The 5 speed is stronger, and a lot of different shops have rebuilt and reinforced transmissions that have tighter tolerances, different input shafts, and so on.

Jacks Transmissions has a page where they have the ratios for the 5 speeds with different final drives.

https://www.jackstransmissions.com/p...on-gear-ratios

Im currently debating which direction I want to go when I switch all that stuff out, currently I am thinking Jacks.

Buschur also does new transmissions and their website says that the transmission is revised. Here is the link for the 6 speed.

https://buschurracing.com/br-cart/tr...nsmission.html

I think what most people go with is a 5 speed with a taller FD. I know I bought my car with a buschur 5 speed and it takes abuse quite well.
