i know the 6 speed is an upgrade but i want to keep the dccd, so is it a ppg gear kit, or similar, or can u use the dccd & somehow have it put into the 6 speed or do you have to get the dccd 6 speeder, hope you know where im going with this cheers steve

 

Your options are:

5 speeder can keep the dccd and have ppg gearset fitted.
The 5 speeder dccd section cannot fit the 6 speeder.
A 6 speeder dccd box from Welcome to the API website but i think the 5 speed dccd ecu will not control the 6 speed dccd.

David at API can advise you accuratly.

 

Im led to believe otherwise, fit a 6 speed with DCCD and it will work like the DCCD you have now, ie thumb wheel.

 

oh thats conflicting, can anyone else shed some light on this subject thanks

I've just had my type r box rebuilt using a straight cut ppg gearset and kept the dccd centre diff.

Now I have something that loud AND scary.

 

They aint loud, wait till you swap the DCCD for a Modena centre with straight cut drop gears, now thats loud!

ps according to Zen a 6 Speed DCCD works with the 5 speed controller, plug and play.

 

I ve run a 6 speed dccd box with a 5 speed controller without any problems

 

I have a DCCD 6 speed box in my MY95 STi RA, the controller works fine, no issues.

If you go the 6 speed route you'll need a 3.9 rear diff to match, as well as a 6 speed prop (or a classic auto prop)

 

id go ppg 1-4 with uk 5th in the typeR box and keep the dccd if it was my money saves hunting around for all the 6 speed parts.

 

thanks guys will wait for a 6 speeder with dccd, no rush
