View Full Version : Transitioning from a 5 speed to 6
Well i just put in my 6 speed last weekend and im still not quite use to it. I try and put it where 5th should be and it doesnt go in because im trying ti put it atop of reverse:mconfused: and every time i go to put it in 6th it takes me a while because i think im going to slip it into reverse or something along those lines. but then again maybe im just retarded anyone one else have this problem?

No problems here with the 6spd, the problem comes when I drive the Silverado and go for 6th gear.............

phil did you notice that third is closer to first?

yeah i did, the first time i drove it i hit the bump stop and thought, aww f*** my clutch is fucked from the last trans! but then i got it in and noticed the spacing. i have yet to really have a good go through with the gears but even at part throttle the acceleration is fucking nuts.
i put in the stock k24a4 calibration i made before i left for ohio on friday (not my tuned map) and forgot all about it till today. The acceleration is better then the k24a4 with the tune, so i cant imagine how its going to rip when i load the tune back in!!

yeah true, im just glad i could help him out with the engine when his blew up, so its like he helped me out when my trans blew up, btw do you need a tranny case? i have my 5 speed one still i havent opened it up but the gears are probably wasted in it, and i saw somewhere you were getting a new case or something?

same girth as a helicopter ac/dc generator
