5spd to 6spd

Lives on the Forum
It's a big myth to think you'd get another "overdrive" gear, but most 6 speeds are not set up that way.
Basically, the 6-speed trans moves old 4th into 5th (1:1) and old 5th into 6th (overdrive). It just adds another gear in between 1st and 4th, which just makes you shift one extra time.
If you're worried about your top gear, you might want to look into changing the diff ratio or just the 5th gear itself.

sorry this is a lil of topic but, i was wondering if i could get a bell housing(from an rx7) mounted to a six spd transmission and install it in my 91 rx7. i know it would take a lot of work but do any of you think this is feasible or do you think im crazy?
