[gltasn]

I apologize for hastily jumping to conclusions. With the availability of this deal I almost wish I needed one.

happens to all of us but your cool for owning up to it! i will prob buy one to have around. i dont ever plan on selling my girl.

Thanks, I don't ever plan on selling mine either, I don't need one because my baby only has 28,xxx original miles.

Ok, So I have come across some more information on this. Here it is.

Point (1) This Mitsu offer as you can see below if you look closely at the part numbers applies also to the 5 speed Getrags.
Point (2) It does not appear that these are new production runs , they are however being shipped from Japan.
Point (3) If you can find a dealer that is selling at the recommended Offer MSRP cost or below you can get a brand new 6 speed for $1800 - which is ridiculous. Don't know why the 5-Speed is so much more.

And just to make your life easy here's what I'm seeing on the part numbers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MB896234 = Getrag W6MG1 - 6 Speed
MR111883 = Getrag W5MG1 - 5 Speed
MN156477 = Transfer Case Assembly, 5–speed, small shaft
MN156478 = Transfer Case Assembly, 5–speed, large shaft
MN156479 = Transfer Case Assembly, 6–speed

Man, if these are coming from Japan, I wonder if there's a way to find the JDM part number and order the JDM 6spd for the "MR/JDM" gearing

[GTOJOE]

So does the local dealer have to place an order before Jan 21st and after that it's no longer? Also can someone confirm the part number for the 6 speed is infact the USDM part number?

OK I checked USDM and JDM ASA/CAPS and confirm part numbers. I wonder how much cheaper this would be than a complete rebuild and beef up at Jacks.

What would be needed on a stock 6 speed to handle 600AWHP?

Bell housing brace, Billet end cap, 300m output shaft.

I was all excited to order one of these but in all reality I don't need to. My whole car has less then 30,000 miles, so after some thought I decided that my money would be better put towards the above mentioned things. Starting with the Bell housing brace, when the syncros give me issues, than I will have Jacks do their thing.

You can get the JDM 6 speeds for pretty cheap if you look around. They will be used, but they are a bit cheaper than the USDM ones you can find used.

Yeah, I was just wondering if they were going to be offering the JDM's new as well

Interesting, all I know is what my rep is telling me...
