2012 LGT 6mt into a 2005 LGT 5mt

Thanks!

I have an Anarchy Motive Atlas for a 6mt as it worked for the 5mt for a couple years before I did this install.

Is my favorite shift ball out of the 9-10 I've had.

If you are 70 miles a day on the freeway, you should really enjoy this 6mt.

Wow, great read. I need to go off and read Scottydunno's thread now.

Given that I was considering sending my 5MT off and having it all redone by ZF Design, this thread has probably saved me from that.  By the time I had them do everything to it and got some blast plates for it I'd be looking at close to $5K.  If I can pick up a newer WRX trans for half that (or less) and just bolt it in with a little work for the shifter, that sounds like a WAY better deal.  Plenty strong for my mod level, quieter, and better freeway MPG (I commute about 70 miles/day on the freeway), it's a win-win-win.

The only downside is that I have a nice Latheworks shift ball that I really like for the 5MT that won't fit the 6MT shifter.  I'll have to look at what the difference is, maybe the hole can be drilled oversized or an adapter can be made.

Thanks for the great thread Infosecdad!

Can you see this reply? If so, the same thread is over on NASIOC as well.

Yes I can see this, thanks.  I'll go poke around NASIOC and see if I can find it. I'm also trying to engage the mods here to try to figure out what's wrong with my account.
