im sorry but your all wrong. the saab tranny ends up with way shorter gears. the g85 equipped balts and the comp pak redline have a alittle bit taller 5th gear. good to like 165 ish with a stage tune and the 7k redline. the 6 speed with the same tune would top out at 147. the 6th is even shorter than the stock 5th. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Having an 6 speed won't benefit much.

You have to think price per gains. Is it worth going through all this for 1 extra gear?

There are plenty of ways to get fast than changing your transmission just so you have an extra gear for slightly better acceleration.

a tad off of the subject, but i dont really think my question is worthy of its own thread...is there a site where you can find auto junkyards near you? i dont have a clue where the closest auto junk yard is...

Since im converting my car to turbo the stock trans should work great...seeing as it was originally designed for a turbo car...long gears ftw!
