what would be involved to dump the 5 gear manual transmission and pick up a brand spank'n new 6 gear manual transmission off the SVTF line up?

A SVTF motor would help.

Do not beleive it will be a good idea. Alot of people say the mtx-75 is better than the getreg.

Why would you want to do this? I doubt you'll get much out of it, except a much lighter wallet. If it can be done it has to be a fair amount of work, and in the end you'll have a transmission with one extra forward gear - plus a flywheel/clutch combo that isn't exactly the popular girl at the party, unless you go aftermarket on those parts.

Aside from aesthetics, why would you want to trade the 5-speed for the 6? I think the PZEV's shifting-though-a-gallon-of-vaseline 5-speed is just about prefectly matched to the 2.3's torque curve. Is the Getrag from the SVT a more pleasant gearbox to use? Certainly. Though, if it's a performance boost that you're looking for, I'd start somewhere else.

As for your actual query:
I dunno.[]

It wouldn't be possible to simply swap for technical reasons.

ah, thank you all for your reply. I was just wondering. 6 gears sounds so much cooler than 5... but that's coming from a guy that thinks the only thing to have 6 is the Diablo and other such cars I have no business trying to get.

I should slap a 6spd in my zts that would be custom because they dont come with 6spd.
Build my own version of svt but a zts[~] That would be tight [thumb]

The money used to fabricate such a job would be better well spent on a 8lb turbo kit.

 

[2.3 wht zts]

Well, turbo does no good at the crank. So get it to wheels with a good tranny.
Better off converting the whole darn car to V-8 rear wheel drive. The only sad thing about that would be to butcher a new car.

 

[CowsGoMoo]

Okay, we can spend 5k converting to a transmission that is no better than the one he has now. Or he can spend 4k on a small boost turbo kit and 1k on his mtx and have a faster car with a stronger and more responsive transmission...

hey ladies, just a question. Just itch'n my not so car sauve mind.
