Just put in my 6 speed- trans tonight
Just finished putting in the 6-speed tonight. Everything major seems to be working. The only thing i have to do now is figure out why my speedometer isn't working :-| The only two wires I was worried about had the same color and connector, or so I thought. Oh well, I guess I'll work on that some other day.

Thats cheating.
I have actually only used a lift once to do a clutch swap. I found it slightly harder then just doing it on jack stands. Mostly because I know exactly where to lay on my back to get every bolt, on the lift the height differences threw things off.

It will give you the correct speed. The sensors are matched to the available rearends, as those do finally determinate your speed.
Keeping the sensor that came with the sixspeed will lead to a higher indicated than actual speed.
If you have a 4.3 rearend, then use a 4.3 speedsensor
If you have a 4.1 rearend, then use a 4.1 speedsensor

Just finished up my swap. From putting my car on the lift to taking it off was 3.5 hours... this includes helping my buddy on and off with his project.
i love how the car feels with the 6 speed!
YAY for a lift

Pull the speedo gear assembly out of the 5-speed (one 10mm bolt iirc), and put it in the 6-speed. Simple process even with the tranny in the car...connect cable, and go! Speedo gear assemblies are 100% interchangeable, and unless you did indeed change the gear ratio at the differential, your speedo will not miss a beat!

Hell to the yeah!! Consider it bought and paid for

They are interchangable only 5 speeds to 5 speeds and 6 speeds to 6 speeds. The 5-speed gears are backwards compared to the 6-speed. They are also different colors which makes them completely different and unusable (I thought the same thing BTW: before I was properly corrected)
