Can my RCSB 5 speed be built into a 6 speed? OR make longer gears?
Sorry stupid question.
I dont want to mess with putting in a t-56 if I will need to cut a new hole in my floor from where my current factory 5 speed is, it is an 05 which I heard you can re-use the cross member. I dont care about driveshafts since I am going to have one built soon anyway. I have a rare regency silver rst rcsb and dont want to chop into too much.
Just want longer gears or my 5 speed made into a 6 speed or something so that when I go to 4.11 or 4.56 gears Its not redlining on the highway and killing mpg, lol.
Your thoughts thanks!

This sticky should give you a pretty good idea of what's involved doing the swap. Have fun its about 100 pages long.

THat Thread is an A4 to M6.
Anybody know if there is a m5 to m6 thread on our site or gmfullsize or anything?
Main concern is will my current cross member work or will i need a new one.
What year T56 would be best? One out of a newer ctsv or camaro? or stick with an older 98-02 trans am or camaro??
Thanks!

I'm unsure, but I know some(one) on here did it.
Maybe call a yard, & ask or research it a bit. Some 6 spds. position shifter at different angle (i.e. Vette ZF comes to mind) & also depending on F-body or whatever, shifter position may be fore or aft of your current location. Get some measurements or find the specs to verify, I'd hate to see ya get in a trick bag. Then try to offload or cobble to fit if it's not the most ideal T56.
