Default Manual Gearbox designation

Is the 5 speed in my AU1 XR6 a T5? I am considering a quick shift advertised on epay and need to know if it will fit.

Maybe you should also post a link to the shift kit your thinking of buying because some people have some negative comments after buying ones off ebay.

Yeah rip shift would have to be at the top of the list, there is also billet specialities.

The B&M, the stick is all wrong for our models.

Don't buy anything but a genuine ripshifter, my dads VX SS with a T56 with a ripshifter was awesome especially the 2->3 shift.
