[slydog]

have checked a few posts about the 6 speed conversion. im putting 1 in my 95 wrx and am unsure on

-speedo drive? mines cable and the box has a electric sender?

-what clutch set up?

any info would be good cheers kev

-just change your cable sender over from 5 speed to 6 speed.

- 5 speed clutch and flywheel can be used but youll have to grind a touch off the 5 speed starter motor for it to locate into the bell housing.

perfect cheers mate i do have all the 6 speed clutch,flywheel and starter is there much diff from the two?

[rex-leggy]

if you do then used them. a 6 speed clutch will take way more of a thrashing!

but youll have to swap the whole lot

[slydog]

if i use the 5 speed clutch would i have to change the clutch fork?

[rex-leggy]

cant 100% recall which one worked . i think you will need the 6 speed fork a friend just ordered one for that exact reason i believe

[slydog]

to answer a question above... the clutch fork matches the clutch you use. 5mt clutch... 5mt fork, 6mt clutch... 6mt fork.

same with the starter motor, use the one that belongs with the clutch assembly.

6mt clutch is slighter larger so has more clamping force.

josh you rough ***t..... lol i run dccd AND r160 in the rear end and haven't smashed any axles yet. /touch wood
