Im debating whether to get a blob or get hold of a 6speed etc. n put it in a classic. I feel confident in doing the work myself, I really don't want to pay a garage X amount.
Is it a pain in the **** job or fairly straight forward?

not a bad job to do yourself but the 6 speed box is rather heavy so u would probably need a hand getting in to position other than that simple if your handy

That looks like an odd choice........are you desperate for 6 speeds?

I'd prefer a classic but I'd be limited to 350bhp ish on a standard STI 5 speed. They are getting on abit now, so it would be hard to find one with a good box

before you do it go out and drive a 6 speeder, i hate them myself. just can;t get on with the ratios.

+1 on tidgy.

350bhp classic is a damed fast car, going beyond that requires very deep pockets to do it properly.

6 speed in a classic with 320+ bhp is awesome ! You can rape it all day long and not ***** out worrying about killing 3rd. Best mod you can do by far... imho

Lol...I did for a while was nice this time round changing down at speed cornering at Snetterton without having to pray to the transmission gods to keep my box in one piece

Tidgy

i blew my standard one on the mountain on the isle of man

yes you guessed it, 3rd gear lol, stripped it clean of all teeth, well if your gonna do something you may as well do a proper job

I have some of 3rd gear in a box in my garage as a near miss trophy...overtaking. .bang...driver leaves me hanging unable to get back in...swetty bollox moment stiring the box to find 5th...lol...Using launch control at Brands might have contributed ...

Biggest disadvantange of the 6speed is weight impact on handling..but it really is nice having 6 strong gears to play with
