6-speeds can be converted, and like previous posters have said, it would be for highway driving if done so, but there are other advantages.

first off if a 1uz v8 swapped into a IS can use be used with a 2jzge straight six tranny, then i believe its possible to mate the 6spd tranny onto 6gc motor. and on the other hand a 6spd tranny could do a world of wonders for 3sgte/3sge motor if the rite 6spd tranny was acquired.

i know for a fact that the tiburon/celica/maxima/sentra 6spd tranny's are all the same but differ in gear ratios. now some gear ratios would be more suitable for a N/A motor and really only one (the 04-06 spec-V) would do well under boost applications

to do the swap, maybe an adaptor plate along with a different bellhousings, master cylinder if the 6gc is cable, special moutning bracket for the tranny...maybe a couple other things as well

i've seen the 6spd tranny's being used for both n/a and boost applications on older engines for:

1. stronger transmission
2. better highway fuel mileage
3. there could be better clutch selections
4. also colud be less chance of thrust bearing failure because of less clamping force by clutch


now this is just my speculation on the swap of a 6spd tranny...i am not to familiar with the 5sfe/3sge/3sgte motors (as yet--i plan to pick up a 6gc in the next few weeks )

What sort of wonders? Having six gears doesn't make a car magically faster. ALSO... you can't compare RWD trannies to FWD trannies. Why? Toyota has been using the same FWD trannies for the better part of 20 years.

A FACT!? really? Where? Where does it say Toyota, Hyundai, and Nissan all use the same 6 speed tranny?

to do the swap, maybe an adaptor plate along with a different bellhousings, master cylinder if the 6gc is cable, special moutning bracket for the tranny...maybe a couple other things as well

very technically sound advice here.

Insightful!

Ok... seriously now... if you don't know these cars... just stop right there. Do research and come back when you're ready. You gotta read the posts before you make assumptions like these. There are OBVIOUSLY smarter more experienced guys chiming in here... so what makes you... a guy who is "speculating" and "not familiar" qualified?
