6 speed conversion in obs?

[strokin95style]

Has anyone done a 5 to 6 speed swap in an obs before? What all would have to be changed? I know the 6 has an internal slave cylinder and the 5 is external, what about driveshafts, will they need shortened or lengthened? any comments or pictures are appreciated.

I know for a fact there is a thread on here somewhere, probably last spring. I'm pretty sure the verdict was no, guys feel free to chime in. Search function helps too...

It can be done. The question is why. The final drive ratios are the same and it just adds one more shift. You really have to be pulling some heavy stuff to make the narrower power band that important.
