Hi all,
i want to convert my fto from auto to manual, but i want to know if it is posible to change it from 4 gears straight 2 6 gears? also would i be able to fit a gear box from an evo into my fto (n which evo if possible)? and how much would this all cost me?

6 speed??
what car has a 6 speed to suit the fto :S and why would you want a 6 speed?
i know my s15 does and a lot of people change it to a 5 speed.

Highway driving perhaps? Fuel economy?
Am I the only one who hates pulling 3500 rpm at cruising speed?

I have a manual GR and I sit on 3000rpm at 100kph.
The fuel economy would be amazing on the highway if it was possible to bring the rpm down through different gearing.
