Hi, I own a v5 type R and I'm beginning to get a few niggles with the 5 speed. Im considering putting a 6 speed in but if I honest I don't really know what's involved. I'd like to keep the dccd and looking to find out what my best option will be, what 6 speed would be best suited and what parts could remain and what parts will need to be replaced.

Thanks in advance Mark

Easy conversion, need either a uk or jap box, jap boxes are very short ratios though, matching diff, prop, linkage and stub axles and possibly the 6 speed starter. can use the 5 speed flywheel and clutch but i just went for the 6 speed flywheel and clutch as its bigger i replaced the 5 speed on my ra as it was too short a ratio for motorways best thing i done too the car.
The dccd just plugs in and works the same as the 5 speed.

Im going to do this swap next week, But for a v6 type r (its the same)
I have a 06 dccd uk gearbox, matching diff, propshaft, front stub axels, 5 speed new clutch and a new 5speed flywheel.
don't think u would need a 6speed starter, or am i wrong?

Take it I would have to source a dccd 6 speed tho?

If you like the standard ratios then a jap dccd 6 speed is the one to go for and tbh I'd go that route to keep the car closer to it's original spec and what it's about.

What kind of mods do u need to do?
