6sp swap

[Kyoshosp2]

About to purchase a 93stealth rt turbo .. Since its a 5sp how hard is it to swap a 6sp into it ?? Like parts needed ? And is it worth it ? I'm thinking better overdrive , closer ratios .. Am I wrong or can it even be done

Stick with the 5 speed. Its stronger overall. Just get a transfer case brace if you plan or drag racing.

You'd need the transmission, transfer case, rear differential, driveshaft, and shift cables.

Yes I plan on dragging it a few times a month .. So maybe I should get the brace .. Anything else it will be a Dailey driver too .

Is 94 the first year the Stealth got the 6sp

[stealthee]

Yeah, 94 was the first year for the 6 speec in the TT's.

Stick with the 5 speed. The 6 speeds have a weaker bellhousing. 5 speed also has more advantages with gearing when it comes to dragging.

Good cause I prefer that body style too .. Thanks for the info ..

I like the 6-speed better for a DD. cruising down the highway at 3K+ RPMs gets old.

Ah, ok then...Id guess 265/35 tires too, was trying to figure out how you got over 3k

But when im doing 90, engine drone is usually the last thing on my mind
