6 Speed ?

Any one who has done the 6 speed swap noticed any mpg change? I am going to either fix my 5 speed or go to the 6 speed. I know the swap isn't a walk in the park but have heard its way worth it.

Re: 6 Speed ?

From what I remember about another guy on here doing the swap there wasn't a HUGE mileage increase. 6th gear is not that much taller of a gear than 5th on the ZF's....the ZF6 has a "L" which is its main difference from the ZF5....Someone with more personal expirience will chime in but this is what i remember
