Okay, so besides the gear ratios, any other advantages to doing the swap? Durability? Weight?

cost savings, try finding any Porsche at a "pick a part" junk yard or any self serve yard for that matter




Most places when they hear Porsche... there is the added "Porsche Tax" LOL

typical 5 speed transmission for a Boxster is north of 1k

I was talking with the owner of Stuttgart Southwest and he said the 6 speeds used go for $1600 to $1800. He has 3 used 5 speeds for $900 each. To me the 5 speed seemed decent but the 6 speed has a much higher demand and therefore the much higher price.
