Default 6 Speed conversion info...

I have a UK turbo classic W reg, toying with idea of a 6 speed conversion when i have done everything else, need to know what needs to be changed for this to work, obviously box and rear diff. But what about props, driveshafts hubs etc... do they need to be changed???

AFAIK, you need the box and diff, plus front and rear driveshafts. SOME cars need the hubs off the donor too, mine didn't, 98 UK car.

SOME cars also need the gearbox mount.

Do be sure the box comes with the clutch cylinder and starter.

You DO know that the 6-speed is a bit heavier too? Not really worth doing unless you are running big torque, or have bust your 5-speed.......
