I have a '93. Naturally a 5 speed.
I am doing a JDM 6 speed swap
Currently I have
Built 6 speed. (locker front diff and bell housing brace installed)
6 speed transfer case
6 speed shifter cables
is that all I need?
I dont need the shifter housing for the 6 speed, do I? Its my understanding that they are different part numbers but the late-5 speed ones work.
Also its my understanding I can use the 5 speed driveshaft. yeah?
Thanks.
you should be good. You'll know if the shifter box isn't going to work if you can't get into reverse.
well my car is a daily driver so i sure hope it works. :o

Don't you need the rear end? Also I'm pretty sure the plate that goes between the engine and trans is different.
JDM "MR" gears use the 5 speed rear.
Oh, sorry, missed that.
Drive shaft?
fairly certain you can use a 5 speed shaft on a 6 speed transfer case but not the other way around.
Correct,Quote:

Ran a 5 speed DS on my 13t car for years like that.

I'm actually starting to worry about my shifter box. On my 5 speed when I go to put it into reverse it taps the side of the housing. Which means when I install the 6 speed, it's going to have to move over even further to get over to the next gate. Which seems physically impossible. Anyone have any experience with this?
I simple cable adjust will cure that.
