Just need a little info ....
If I have a short shorter for my stock 5spd, will it also work on a 6spd if and when I move to do a swap?

Is premium fuel reccomended or required for a turbo charged 1 or 2zz?

Is the rpm difference between a 5 & 6spd the same regaurdless of euro or us 6spd trans?

What is the best resource for finding a donor for a 6spd used?

yes
yes
depends on which gear you are in. In 6th gear the euro spec at 80 mph = ~3100 rpm. The US spec 6 sp =~3600.
Monkey Wrench Racing can supply new and sometimes good used trannies. Mr. T, has them of course, pm AKA RASTA here on sc for discounted parts.
edit--you wanted used. Just be careful buying used. Curt may have a used 6 sp available later this summer. Look for very low mileage used trannies, because yo you never know how much abuse they have already had.

And if I recall correctly, although ratios are different, difference between 5 and 6 speed is just the 6. 1-5 ratios are the same (so US5-US6 have same ratios and EUR5-EUR6 have same ratios although different from US). Actually, comparing 5 and 6 speeds, they seem to have same ratios US and EUR. 5th is 0,815, 6th is 0,725. Difference between US and EUr is in final drive, US = 4,312 EUR = 3,914. So answer to your question: rpm difference between 5th and 6th is same regardless of US or EUR, only final drive differs.

Great, thank you.

And curt is? That's his user name or actual name.

Both, I'm assuming, but that's his screen name.
