For the A-pillar? I want them in the cubby.

 

Is JCSpods a user here?

Not that I am aware of...

JCSpods, I would email them and ask about this video here:

Or

You could try messaging Block8Head, he makes some pretty awesome stuff.

Or

cubbypods.com (if they will make one without cutting the holes so you can cut your own.)

What about getting a pillar from JCSpods? I emailed him and he made me a quad pillar.

CODE - I appreciate your info a lot. What clutches are you looking at if you have to replace?

For everyone who has gone from 5MT to 6MT, I've read mixed reviews for a DD.

Some say the 5MT with blast plates is better for a daily, and some swear the 6MT is superior in every way.

I am mainly looking at the 6MT swap for:

1) Stronger transmission

2) Another gear for better RPM control

3) Limited slip diffs ( Thanks CODE for another thing to google;

For those who have spent the money and time, is the 6MT swap worth it or do you wish you'd just gone with blast plates?

Deisel J - the decision was based on a few things. First, my 5MT needs a new 3rd gear synchro. Second, my car is already making a lot more power than the 5MT was designed for, and the motor is just a tune away from running E85. This means that the 5MT is the limiting factor in my setup right now, so either a built 5MT or a 6MT swap. Third reason, I want to experience this car with Limited Slip Differentials.

Once you have all the parts and installed, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'm seriously debating on the upgrade. Where did you source your parts?

I need to decide on a clutch - this swap comes with a used one. I will inspect and make a decision to install or replace, pending condition.

What were the deciding factors that has you choose to do the swap?

What is your wheel size and offset?

Also what is your camber front and rear?

I'm looking at the Enkei GTC01RR 18X9 ET 35 or 40 (depending on which offset will fit better)

I'm curious if they are the same as yours.

These ones may need to be burned out, unless I can press a pipe through to cut/rip the bushing loose from the subframe.

That's the main reason I decided on using inserts instead of full bushings on the rear differential mounts and sub-frame.

I should be getting my 09 back today from my mechanic. Had them install a bunch of items, along with the SuperPro SPF3007K. We'll see how everything feels after I pick it up.

legacybt - Why do you feel the Powerflex PFR69-417 are better than the SuperPro SPF3007K? Or is that only for replacing the whole bushing like elgin.owens is doing?

That's what a local shop in Bremerton, Wa did for me.

It really depends on how in depth you want to go...
