Correct. The factory 6sp shifter is very different to the 5sp. I am transplanting into an auto car, so I can't compare. Some better pictures:
A couple of issues are obvious. The whole shifter mechanism is too long. Will put the shifter out of the tunnel at about the handbrake position. I also think it will be too tall. I think the mechanism is obvioulsy designed to minimise vibration and rocking being transferred to the shift lever. But a sa consequence, seems to introduce a very sloppy feel.
Thankfully, I've played with BM's in the past and the shift rod input to the gearbox housing looks very similar to that on the BM Getrag boxes. Sooooo, I'm going to try and adapt a BMW shifter mechanism like this:
Fingers crossed.....
Here are some pictures inside the bellhousing. The clutch slave and throwout mechanism is very different to the 5sp.
