Delta V6 6pseed tranny useless?
This question is for all you Detal guys... is there really a performance difference between the 6speed vs. 5speed? I understand the concept of shorter gear ratios and utilizing the power output of a motor buy properly mating gear ratios, bla bla. However in the GTV6 does it really matter and is the 6speed just a comodity? Or does it actually have some use. I'm gonig to buy a 2k3 GTv6 and am wondering if it's worth me getting the ultrasports package 1 just to slap a 6speed (plus the pedals and the wing and converting the leather to cloth i like too)...It's under $300 for the package so i wonder if the 6speed is worth my time. Otherwise i'd just go for the base GTV6 and stay with a 5speed and add my own aluminum pedals and wing later. wink

get the 6spd.
the v6 is ****ty without it. I been in both. And the 5spd makes the v6 a dog. |

And the 5spd makes the v6 a dog.</div>Hmm not quite sure what you mean. Like a lazy dog? B*tchy? No good? I also forgot to ask is this unit a cable linkage or rod linkage? It straight up feels like rod which is the general concensus of what should be supplied in "drivers" car (or a car meant to be driven, u guys know what i mean). It's just that i've been spoiled by my 1st gen tib cable linkage which shifts soooooooooo smooth. Oh well, i guess i'll just have to get used to it. It's just the 6speed i drove felt really notchy on the shifting and i really like the smoothiness of cable. Oh well. |
I wouldn't consider the 6speed worthless. Hell, I'd go with the 6speed just for the increase in fuel economy over the 5 speed.
However, not everyone likes rowing through the gears, and the 6 speed does require more driver interaction than the 5-speed does. You might not think the 1 extra gear makes that big of a difference, but it does....especially in rush hour traffic/a lot of city street driving. It's really up to you. Give them both an extended test drive, and then go with whichever one you feel more comfortable with. |
they are both cable.
dog as in, slow |
shad....is right...the 5spd is a dog...but you do have to shift more frequetly with the 6spd.
|
shifting is fun.
Its an trade off for performance. Dont wanna shift? Then deal with being slow and get an auto. |
i have a 5 speed and its no dog...wanna race......just got back from mason dixion drag strip today and ran a 14.4 with a 2.4 60ft MAJOR wheel hop....i have video...only mods are kore intake/exhaust and weight reduction...

I am sure the 6spd will run a less time.
