So are you saying that it is an easy swap for a six speed as well from a 4th gen?
What is involved with that? Thanks

from what i researched and what other people said a 6 speed is fairly simple except you have to:
1) shorten the driveshaft and rebalance it.
2)get a new cross brace to hold the trans.
3)convert to electronic speedometer depending on the year of the f body.
this is other peoples information though i 'm just reposting it.
