Default Your opinion....m6

Goodmorning,

My cars 3th gear does not work (car shake heavely when releasing clutch in 3th i just drive it 1-2-4)

I got 2 options: buy a used 93 (dont know how many miles it has on it and dont know if its a m28 or m29) it has a B&M short shifter and a Spec stage 4 clutch for about $1100 (i saw that the 93's has higher ratios then the 94 and up)

Or buy a overhaul kit for my 94 and let someone rebuild it (seems like a lot of work i dont know if i can do it) and bytheway if i rebuild it can i install 93's ratios in it?

What would you do?

Have yours rebuilt by a reputable shop. IIRC the 93 transmissions aren't as stout.

You are better off having your t56 rebuilt or buy another t56 and rebuild the original later with upgraded parts

To be honest my friend the 93 6 speed is it's own breed and should be used with just bolt ons possibly a mild cam to keep it safe TQ destroys parts
The 94 -97 t56 is rated to hold more power and is generally the 6 speed of choice.
The difference in gear ratios in the trannys was because of the rear axle ratios available for 93 that's why 94-97 all came with 3.42s instead...
Lastly, I would NOT spend more than 600.00 for a 93 6 speed...

I would have someone rebuild it and try to not find a place that just spray paints some junkyard crap and says it's new and rebuilt like so many do.
