There is a secret conspiracy to make a T5 bellhousing to the BP. I shall not speak of it, but he can.

I heard that *he* ended up getting a 6spd b/c for the same reasons there isn't an adaptable bellhousing yet - $$

Unlike most of the Cali guys I prefer the wider spread of the gates of the 5spd. I think shock loading is the killer of the 5spd.
A 3.6 would make the 6 speed's 1-5 similar to a 5 speed with a 4.3, which isn't too horrible. Still a bit too short IMO. |

+1 If you drive it to and from the track, consider it a minimum of $500 in your pocket...$200 for the tow truck and $300 for the entry fee.

yeah, drag racing and auto-x is alot harder on the trans. than a road course. my 180,000mi. original tranny broke at an auto-x due to my old welded diff. "unwelding" and locking the tires while drifting a sweeper. my car was a street/drag racer in it's past life, so i think it did pretty good. just don't crash the gates and it should be fine.

This is how you should look at it. Figure your cost if you miss track time, and or missed track time plus the replacement 5spd. I would see where you end up before you decide.

Thanks all! |
well damn, I guess all the cool kids are doin it guess I'll have to be next. I'll trailer to track events but not to an autox and knowing that where I'll blow the thing up.

After reading this thread it would seem that the 6 speed is the way to go, but what if you are not going to track events or autox? But you have just about 250rwhp? Would anyone recommend the 5 speed, or is the 6 speed the way to go in any situation?

Ok thanks, does the 6 speed bolt right up to the NA driveshaft?
|
Yes. It is a direct swap, no other parts are required.
|
I actually like the 6sp/4.10 in my currently NA car... with my light flywheel the 5sp first would bog a little, now it doesn't. The 6sp also has a better gear spread IMO.
|
Why are we talking about HP in this thread? It's wtq that's the problem.
|
" My 5spd only lasted 5k with 250whp the trans had 100k on it, my new 6spd with 45k has 20k miles at 250whp and is great."
