So I keep hearing that the 6-speed is vastly inferior to the regular 5-speed.

I really like the MR and 6-speeds, but I dont want a tranny thats going to die on me.

I've heard that "The 6-speed has the same size transmission as the 5-speed, so there are more gears in the same amount of space, making it more susceptible to failing."

Id prefer to get the MR, but if the 6 really does suck, I'm going to go for an SSL or SE.

Thanks guys!

 

Search function is your friend , this topic has been covered about in countless threads. I'll sum it up for you , if you plan on pushing around alot of HP then the 5spd. is a better bet ; if not then 6spd. will due

 

What Vinh said; it's generally accepted that with proper care and maintenance, the 6 spd. should be good up to about 400-450 WHP

 

Get the MR if you like extra decorations. then swap into a built 5-spd!

 

....

 

Yeah I been worried about that my self but if its going to a daily with minor mods... the 6spd is fine you looking for track or drag 5spd

 

Just get a ix se. All the pretty stuff from the mr but with a 5spd
