Hey, when Katrina gas prices hit, I thought about going for a 6 speed conversion. Not easy. Not cheap.

Actually, it's surprisingly "easy", just not "cheap" . I just swapped to the T56 back in August. Total around ~$3000 for all the parts (including a new clutch) and ~24hrs labour working at my normal turtle's pace!!

24 hours labour is easy? I'd like you to talk to my wife about that.
