Im going to get a new 2008 EVO never titled. I have the option to get a 5 speed car or six speed car. I am new to Evos which car should I get. What are the advantages and disadvantages to each of the trannies.

 

GSR= 5spd manual
MR= 6spd TC-SST
Both trannies have been holding up pretty strong so far, but stick with the 5spd if you are looking on making more power down the road.

 

That is what I have been reading and I will have less shifts and it is cheaper LOL

 

Are shop evo x,s are both 5 speed one is 600 on pump and you have to shift into 5th before the traps . The other one is going to be around 900+ whp.

 

4th gear runs to approx 108mph, so yea you'd need 5th for almost any legit race you run

 

^what, in the 6spd? No way 4th runs out at 108 in the 5spd...thats like the top of my gst's third gear lol.

 

for mph in gears awd < gst, so yea its true

 

yes the GSR...my brother has one. stock redline is 7000, we rev to 7500 right now so maybe 110-111 at best in 4th

dont believe me go look at my youtube channel. every race we got in last sunday we had to boost 5th

 

is the gearing that much different in evo's? my old gsx would do like 120 at 7k in 4th if i'm not mistaken

 

buy a 8 or 9
