Is it possible to fit a clutch kit for a 6spd into a classic 5spd, I know the 6spd is a bit bigger in diameter, but anything else different, will it fit/work?

thanks for that, so is it only a matter of doing bit of grinding?, can you still use classic fork, and starter?

i did read somewhere that the 6 speed starter teeth was slightly different but not 100%,my mates been using his for 12 months now with no issues,we used the 5 speed thrust bearing and fork which i believe are the same,there is a tin under tray at the bottom of the box which remove all together or bend it down sightly

Is this a better option than a stage one standard clutch, as looks like a good idea, also is it just the webs inside the bell housing that have been ground away or has the slot in the bottom been done as well. I presume this would work on a newage WRX as well. May be worth considering if/when I need to replace the clutch on mine, presume 6 speed flywheel clutch plate and cover used.

it was fitted to a newage 5 speed wrx,only reason we attempted it was the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate fell on my mates lap for 100 quid,yes just the webbing and a touch of the bottom all simple enough to do

it is a grat idea to have a high torque holding clutch in a classic that still has factory or near factory driveability, i was thinking of this with ppg as alternative to exedy hyper or a paddle clutch, i have around 420ftlbs to 430ftlbs of torque at moment

Don't ! Mine couldn't cope with 360 lb.ft. and had to go for an Exedy !

I used a six speed flywheel, 40% uprated 6 speed cover and organic disc. No grinding and six speed starter motor. Lovely clutch action.

and no alterations had to be made to classic 5spd box at all harvey?

Ken : I have dropped a bollock here. The job was replacing a five speed clutch and flywheel, fitted by others to a car with a six speed conversion and not a five speed box. Sorry for the confusion.
We normally fit 225 and 230 mm clutches to five speeds and the six speed are 240 mm.
