SupraPL Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Just for the record, he's already manual, so its just a case of the 6 speed box, not a full manual 6 speed conversion. TT 6 speed conversion into an auto car would be more like £5500. So, how much for 5speed to 6speed conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 2 company 6 speed Sz-R's have been under the knife this week. One has had a full REAS suspension install, uk brakes, and a VVTI TT conversion, the other has had a UK TT conversion.

Jezz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 So, how much for 5speed to 6speed conversion? I'll work that out for you. Think its around £1500 + VAT to include box, clutch and flywheel, and slave cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraPL Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'll work that out for you. Think its around £1500 + VAT to include box, clutch and flywheel, and slave cylinder. How much without clutch mate I'm tempted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAG Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Would the acceleration not be better if the 5 speed box was left in it would also save quite alot of cash on the conversion that could be put towards Bpu:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Would the acceleration not be better if the 5 speed box was left in it would also save quite alot of cash on the conversion that could be put towards Bpu:d 5 speed box could struggle with BPU.

I'm afraid that i have bad news for you ... you can't keep your N/A auto gearbox as it may not hold out more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The £3k price includes a TT autobox fitted if you are NA auto. If you are NA 5 speed, the price is the same as we use our own custom 5 speed clutch plates. Can i just add, we DO NOT recommend anything more than stock power on the 5 speed gearbox. Its fine as a stop gap, but i'd recommend a Getrag 6 speed as soon as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know three 5 speed N/A-T (400BHP, 2x 420BHP) owners who hadn't any problems with gearbox since conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its the luck of the draw. Some may be fine, others that may have lead a more 'thrashed' life may go pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably you are right, but it is widely assumed that 5speed gearbox (in good condition) can hold out up to 400BHP at crank. Personally i would like to have 6speed box in my N/A-T (Just waiting for "right" price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Jez while you are here can you confirm a 6 speed na as the same flywheel and clutch as a 6 speed tt....... I presume the dimensions are the same but are the flywheel and clutch plates etc the same part no. / strength etc as the tt's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on clutch rating, but the flywheel and clutch on both our NA 6 speed - TT bolted straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
