Does any one know if the 6 speed transmission from a 7th gen GT will fit the 6th gen GT?

There really wouldnt be a point either, the GT gear ratios are already pretty small, smaller than the 3sge which provides a quicker acceleration. a 6th gear would only be used for top speed and fuel economy.

This is right on. Most cars with a 6-speed transmission with exception to very high performance cars are only used for fuel economy. This is the case with the Celica GTS (which besides, the 6 speed tranny I thought was really slow just my opinion though) and with the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V...just to name a couple examples.

Although I'm not disagreeing, I'm gonna add that a 6 speed will slightly improve acceleration because of the shorter gearing. Depending on the engine's power delivery, having a 6th gear usually means all of the other gears, mainly 3rd and 4th can be geared much much shorter, in essence, quicker acceleration. Again, it depends on what engine though, because depending on the power delivery, shorter gearing can sometimes hurt acceleration.
