Going from the 5spd boxes requires a different design, they don't just add another gear. The weight gain is close to 50lbs to get the 6th gear. It's especially hard in transverse boxes where space is limited, probably one of the many reasons FF economy cars stayed with 5spd boxes. Nowhere near 400lbs that some cars have gained. It might also have more to do with structural reinforcements and increasing size than just more airbags and computer controls.
