6 speed gearbox vs 5 speed gearbox of the same year - are they same physical size and mounting?


Recommended Posts

Hi Team, 

As per above, just researching this topic a bit and am wondering if there are any physical difference in regard to mounts, shifter location etc, i have googled + image search to try and work it out but not getting much in a direct comparision.

I suspect there will be a size difference but want to confirm.

 

Thanks

Assuming you are talking about the older strong STi 6-speed, no, it's much larger. Requires a shorter driveshaft and shift linkage. I think the mount is in the same place, but I could be wrong...

 

I don't know about the newer split case 6-speeds, they're not nearly as strong, so likely not as physically large as the STi ones.
