Hey guys, I have finally decided to trade in my 2G Eclipse for an Evo IX, but how stroing is the 6-speed transmission on the MRs? Will it hold up on the extra HP after modification? Or is it safer to modify the GSR? TIA.

another one of these. search around. some of the gears on the 6 speed are thinner than the five speeds due to its extra gear. there will also be less fluid in there because of the extra gear.

most of us wont have to worry about the size of the gears. what are you planning to do with your car?

Most people that track it , it will break 4th gear. Only a matter of time.

That has happened with stock factory 6 speeds, but to my knowledge, no TRE modified 6 speeds have lost 4th gear. In addition, a number of people who have installed transmission oil coolers have had good success with their 6 speeds.
