I've seen guys go both ways with the transmission and even put a five speed behind a 3.2 or 3.4. The guys who either put a 2.5 5 speed behind a 2.7 or a 2.7 5 speed behind a 2.5 don't really notice a difference. Some spec boxster guys have caught with 2.7 5 speed transmissions and didn't even know until they got inspected by the scrutineers at a race. The spec guys are burning through 2.5 transmissions so quickly that you might have a hard time finding a good used one. I'd stick with the 2.7 transmission because of that. Of course you're in England so finding a 2.5 transmission won't be so hard.
