It does, one of my Mechanic friends has attached the 6 speed to his version 3 motor on his 99 RS.
Don't think he had to hammer anything out though, but I'll ask.

that is great news. i have been contemplating a GC project and wanted to do a ej20 and 6sp swap. i am thinking about a killer GF8 project. i just dig the older chassis.
that is great you guys got the suretrac. i need to go read up on what it is.

I spoke with BOZZ Speed of Japan tuners was told that the DCCD tranny is not that good for my needs. My car will put out double if not more the STi power and those DCCD's are not as strong as the regular diffs.

I read somewhere once that one of the reasons that the US sees more 5MT are because by adding a 6th gear, most cars will need to be in 3rd to reach 60. With this additional shift comes a slower 0-60 time, which Americans are enamored with, especially in the sport compact market. May be why the new Neon is only a 5MT too. Makes sense too because most drivers in the don't really understand why a 6MT is necessary for driving anyway.

The DCCD equipped 6MT's are expensive. Expect to pay about ~$4,500-$5,500 for just a used DCCD tranny. Then you need the dash cluster, the DCCD ECU, harness and the ****.
You can have a 65R/35F perm bias if you get a CUSCO Tarmac Gear center diff.

No problem Josh.
The friend I speak of used to run an STI RA gearbox which was waaay to short (and fragile) for his everyday use, and in went the 6 speed. Like I said, he didn't mention having any problems, but there are others that have done it, like Bill Shih's GF8 (In the Nasioc members gallery, if you want project inspiration, that's it.)

You'll loose ABS with the DCCD. They don't work together well.

do a search on NASIOC there was a thread about it a while back.
It's an open diff so you should have LSD at both ends before using it. Not sure if it's for both 5 and 6MT or just the 6...
