Hello i own a 2004 Mazda 3s 2.3L (5dr hatchback). How do i convert my stock 5speed manual transmission and make it into a 6speed manual transmission with a basically same type of feel (ie. smoothness, seemless shifting, easy to shift, etc...) i havent been able to find any companies or information on how to do so. If any one could help i would really appreciate a link or site or company to at least check up on plus if you know pricing. Thank you very much for your help anyone and everyone. Email me at BIGMPERFORMAUDIO@aol.com

 

you would need an entirely different transmission to have six speeds. theres no real way to convert the transmission on its own to have six speeds rather than five. whether or not the transmission has 4, 5 or 6 speeds to it has nothing to do with how it shifts at all. the bushings, the throw of the shift lever, the linkage and the clutch affect feel.

if feel and shifting faster or smoother is a concern, check this : http://mazda3online.web.aplus.net/pr...roducts_id=156

much cheaper than a new transmission

 

hi I'm a noob.
