The logic for the 6 speed is a "while I'm in there" approach - if I'm gonna swap the tranny, might as well drop some extra coin and get one that is actually worth a damn.

I was looking at parts last night, it looks like a used 986 5 speed can be hadfor $500, whereas a 987 6 speed can be had for $2500. 5x the cost, but maybe worth it by avoiding a few more 01a 5 speeds in the future?
