Its completely up to you. I personally like the 6 speed over the 5 speed. They are built better and have fewer problems.

You will need the wiring harness for the swap, a different drive shaft, tranny, and a tune.

It all depends on what your goals with the car is. If its a dd occasionaly track car then I wouldnt go through the hassle. If its gonna be a drag car, stay auto, road course, go stick.

Ok so new question... ive been out of town, but i remembered today that i have a Performance Automatic PA53101, now it is capable of holding up to 450hp now with the type of nitrous shot i wanna run it wouldnt be anywhere near that number, now my question is...does your previous statement about transmission parts being on the ground still apply?
