the 6 speed trans has cooling fins on the under side and also the shifter linkage is on top straight into the trans as on the 5 speed it is on a angle on the top/firewall side of the trans.

The 6 speed also has counter weights on the shifter linkage.

makes it fall into gear with less effort /smoother. Its like getting a weighted shift knob.
