Good evening folks
Can you fit a 6 speed manual gearbox into a 5 speed car? Is it a direct replacment or does it require lots of re-engineering?
Kind regards,
DS

The aircon drier filter needs moved slightly otherwise the 6 speed box can end up rubbing a hole in it. That was the only problem I remember from the one coupe I know of that had this conversion done.

Both were removed from non runners (the rustiest cars I’ve seen) and are both subsequently untested. One has an indicated 93k and the other 110k
