6 mt
I've done a search but am still a bit confused over doing a manual tranny conversion. The How To seems a little out of date as Tom seems to have solved a few problems with brake kit and drive shafts.
If I am looking at the STI 6MT what is the most current info?

Buy Tom's kit.... I think it is 800 but possible a bit more for the 6mt. Other than that there have been no major "break-throughs" in MT swaps that I have heard of.

Yeah for a 6spd you do not need to extend the drive shaft you use the stock one. You will need Tom's Kit, Tranny, R180 Diff and Axles, Clutch Master cylinder, Slave Cylinder... umm I think thats about it...
 Good luck on your endeavor...

How do you find the highway mileage with the 6 mt compared to the auto?
Any comments on the shifter and clutch feel?

I don't have any numbers to talk about regarding fuel mileage... how about went to OT and back on one tank???
Shifter and clutch are great, YT short shifter is magic, and the kit is perfect. I do not really remember my Auto that much... besides the fact that it died...
