Default 6 spd box in 95 classic - clutch change?

Hi

My 95 RA has an STi 6 block and an OS Gikken twin plate racing clutch (push release assembly) with associated lightened flywheel.

Horrible rattling noises suggest gearbox or something is on the way out due to power of car (mid 300s) matched to this racing clutch (but could be diffs etc. it is going to get checked out)

If I'm thinking of fitting a 6 spd gearbox to my MY 95 will my clutch need changed too?

iirc from what I've read onhere

The 5 speed clutch will fit the 6 speeder.
A 6 speeder clutch needs a 6 speeder flywheel .

Exactly as 911 says. No sweat at all this conversion.

David, what sort of price would I be looking at to provide and fit a 6 speed box to a STI 5 if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers,

Nick .
