I killed my 5 speed without even trying and that was with me babying it most of the time. I now have a 6speed and I will say I have not been gentle and it still ain't broken yet,

How much did it cost, and where did you source the 6 speed from?

Trade prices to Subaru garages around perth
Kyp for gearbox $3300 for a dccd
Auto tail shaft $ 220
Diff $300 for r160
Use all the stuff you have eg. Clutch, starter motor
Can be a LOT cheaper to do it your sell or go see Neil at maximum motorsport.

5-7k all up depending on what you get, and how cheap the box is.

Labour is between 1-2k
The box and associated parts are 3.5-5.5k

Keep an eye on the forums for a box. Also worth contacting the wreckers (JWS etc), but usually they want a bit more.

Your 5spd should do ok for a while provided you watch your changes and clutch usage.
I've been doing events with sticky tyres and ~280hp ath and haven't busted my 5spd yet. That said, I've binned a 5spd back when I had standard power, doing something stupid.

I got my dccd 6spd for 3500 off the forums, so it's def worth waiting for one to pop up at a good price.

Launching usually won't bin a gbox, it's normally the changes that get you in a bad spot.

Also consider whether you are going to replace the clutch and machine / replace the flywheel too.

Is there bugger all difference between using 6spd clutch over the 5spd?
