I am verrrryyyy interested in this thread...

From what I have read about this 6 spd is that its like glass.

First off, syncros are usually always a weak point.
Secondly, when the final gear is lowered there is less stress on the gearbox
thirdly, those who push the car to its limits seem to sheer 4th gear in particular.
Finally, those who have opened the manual 'box up have noted that there is tight living quarters in there for the gears, unless you have an iconel gear set i have no idea how your going to fix the stock box holding capacity.

Some describe a grinding between 1st and 2nd in cold weather. Im going to chalk that up to trans fluid as well in case you wanted to look at that.

Food for thought.
