I don’t know for sure why but the 6 speed in my mind is proven to be stronger. I have broken seven 5 speeds with 3 different failure modes trying to put more than 350 hp through them. The 6 speed has lasted 10 times longer so far.
Oh, and there is actually 3 differences in the 5 speeds but none of the changes really effects strengh or function much. they upgraded a syncro once in the series and later changed the shift turrnet on the 5 speeds over the years.

So, the old gear salad bowl is out. I'd better remove the downpipe too when I get the new box in. Took about 3 hours working on my own. Not too bad. The fact that the car has been apart before helps.
I can't see how I would get a new box in by myself and as I've lots of other (real) work to do, I'm going to have it done.
