Ditto on what Jim said. STOP DRIVING THE CAR.

Now, to answer your question. A 6 speed tranny will not fit on a car fitted for a 5 speed as far as I was told when my tranny had to be replaced. Now I could have gotten bad info, but that's what I was told repeatedly by others.

I found a used tranny with 40k on it for $1700.00 plus $150 shipping. My mechanic put it in for $600.00.

Reconditioned from Porsche is about $3500 or more.

Let's hope it's NOT that. Don't jump to conclusions as it's obvious you have a vivid imagination.
