why not Ive always heard if theres a will there is a way ?

and if you wanna buy the driveshaft..the rear end...the transmission...and prolly some other stuff..then sure there's a way..or you can by the...freak i forgot the name..some kind of company makes a 6 speed..but it's all so outrageously priced and not worth it because the six speed isn't as strong as the 5 speed gears because they are smaller gears....oh..and search

OS Giken makes a kit to turn a 5-speed into a 6. Not sold in the US, and if my memory serves me corectlly it's about $6000.

The S15 6-speed I have been told will require a consiterable amout of work to fit. I was quoted $2000 from unstable hybrids, which I believe was labor.

what about he new sentra transmission how close is that engine to the sr20 motor is that a possibility?

[TrunkMonkey]

no, the sentra is FWD.

the energizer bunny would run out of steam before you ever got that to work.

i remember someone saying that any Nissan transmission will fit if you swap the bellhousings, but i'm not sure on the validity of this

Not any. The KA, SR, CA, RB20, and VG30E all use the same transmission, but with different bellhousings, so these will all swap. However, the 6spd units are a different transmission entirely, so the bellhousing swap is only the first obstacle, even if it bolts up, the driveshaft and diff are different also. HKS and Greddy also make 6 spd units, but they are SR fitments and are built with different bellhousing mountings, making them fit SRs only. Quaiffe makes a 6 spd straight-cut gear unit for the KA, but it's over 8 grand IIRC.
