the only thing you need to change is the top gearbox mount or modify it and you need to modify the gearstick too

I believe the 6 is slightly closer ratio.

its expensive for both parts
And the pinion gear is part of the output shaft so not only that needs to be changed but all the gears have to be removed and changed over... but its possible the broken parts have gone through your gears and stuffed the gearset also you wouldn't know until you dismantled it.

Its worth pulling apart and removing the lsd though an checking its alright, to re-use or to sell as it fits a huge range of Toyota fwd cars in the corolla/starlet range

This is from a old 5 speed but see the gear on the right side/end this strips and its part of the whole output shaft, so you would have to replace that and the gear on the diff, If your other gears haven't been damaged

Is it possible to do this opposite, changing from a 6 speed gear box to a 5 speed gear box, are there many modification to do? or you just gotta simply swap the 6 speed gear box and replace it with a 5 speed box?

Thanks
