6 speed vs 5 speed

[jinkl]

I have read alot thru this few days about the 6speed gearbox and 5 speed gearbox
wht i have learned so far, the 6speed is done by Aisin, the 5 speed is by mitsu on their own
correct me if im wrong

as ratio wise, the 6 speed doesnt have much diffrence in the cruise rpm, at 140kmh they are jst off about 100-200rpm , bt its a pretty close ratio gearbox for the 6gears

so what I would like to know is whether the JDM and USDM specs are the same, cos in evolutionm, nearly everyone has problems with their 4th gear on the 6geargb to break , some of them broke with stock engines , in our case we dnt have sheptrans or TRE to rebuild our gb, bt there was a debate saying the FQ400 uses the same gb ,we have only our potongs and it would cost a bomb

so guys, any info on the USDM vs JDM and also any of u 6gear guys over here took down the cars to trackdays and etc and their gb still holding strong?

jinkl planning to change gb? i have a 6 speed and my engine is stock. so far no problems on highway runs. don't have the skills to go to track yet. sometimes i misshift 5th gear but i think that is because my hand cacat and not because of the gearbox...

maybe you can check with b18c-r for 5 geargb and azizi for 6 geargb for sepang track runs. both have monsters and go to the track.

p/s - either that or you can pm cannondale. his car is a super monster.

nah haha
im deciding between a e7 and e8 :D
i heard nightmares on the USDM version , so jst confirming :D
if its really problematic, i will opt for the 5gear e7 then :)

10q for the reply, will try consulting b18c-r and azizi :D

oh i see... we welcome you to join MLOC

if you're choosing between e7 and e8, there is another option. you can drop by cruise power garage and check with evokit. he drives an evo and he also fixes a lot of evos. he can also give you a lot of info regarding evo 7 vs evo 8. happy hunting

btw, Mistaken Identity, Lancer 7891, EvolutionZ, Leslie (not in town though) all drive e7. you can also pm them for more info on e7.

monster e9 has spoken...

 

[azizi.aziz]

hehehe mizu...just normal.. street tuned evo9 la...

I can say 6 speed is tougher...unless it's 5 speed RS version...better for time attack...but not so good for highway cruising...
