SupraP-Z Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi guys, Im looking at upgrading to the 6 speed, if i were to buy the v160 box, shifter, gearbox mount and slave cylinder. What else would i need to complete the conversion reliably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) A mechanic? E2A This (http://mkiv.com/techarticles/auto_to_6spd_swap/index.html) is an auto to manual conversion, and this is a 5 speed to 6 speed (http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?447700-NA-5spd-to-6spd-conversion-w-stock-rear-end) Hope this helps give you some insight Edited October 4, 2016 by Frank Bullitt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate other than a 6speed clutch and flywheel, prop and the solid pipe, a bracket and another pipe that should be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Clutch fork and all the pull type bearing mounting stuff, which when totted up is quite a lot of dosh. Dual mass flywheel and suitable bolts aren't cheap, nor is a pull type clutch assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi mate other than a 6speed clutch and flywheel, prop and the solid pipe, a bracket and another pipe that should be it The full prop too? 6 speed prop is 4 bolt front end and splined in the centre. Also will raise the question on large diff/small diff and associated rubber coupling, although this can be "bypassed" with success and patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Would you not want to change the diff anyway, given the ratios of the V160 vs the W58? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
