A 5 speed should handle what your doing, if you have some mechanical sympathy.
What he said.

Preservation of the 5spd is down to the way you drive, it will be ok as long as you don't try and shift like a japanese time attack driver on a flying lap or dump/drop the clutch repeatedly.

5spds do not like being rushed, particularly as they get older (maybe get some better transmission fluid if the car has done many kms, call Doug @ Stechnic and see what he recommends in regards to this).
