yeh micky the shaft for the auto and maunal are the same and the shafts i got with the 6speed box were the same as my auto ones, but the 6speed shaft didnt have the abs rings on them so i just used my auto ones if ya get me!.

If your going from manual 5 to manual 6 you dont need to do half as much work as i did, it'll be as simple as swaping boxes and then swaping out the gear shifter/cables. Theres a few g6's being broken on fleebay atm to. I would recomend it, the acceleration is emence even on standard boost but at 70 in 6th the engines revving just over 3k not sure what its like in a 5speed like but the final drives are different so can only guess it will be less.

I heard it makes no difference if sat at 70mph on a motorway to a five speed.

Awsome work though mate must feel a bit alien using a clutch in that car now :p

Should be awsome when you get here at 1 bar :)

yep really alien, I've tried putting it in gear so many times without depressing the clutch I've lost count this morning I actually got it in reverse and it stalled so I sat there scratching my head for a few seconds then it clicked "oh shit yeh, there's a clutch"

thanks for the kind comments guy really makes worth while.
