I see a lot of people changing to the bronze fork pads on 1-4 but what about 5-6? I would think you want to do all of them but is there a reason so many only do 1-4?

I know the bronze are stronger, but are they also noisier? Do people not go bronze (or is it brass) because they dont shift 5/6 hard and when cruising probably want quiter drivetrain noise?

Well when I did a search for the info I did read that properly installed bronze pads would not effect noise at all. But can't speak from personal experience.

anyone else have any input?

You should only need 1-4 but if you've got the extra cash I'd splurge a bit buy all 6 just to not have a chance of plastic breaking off in my tranny.

Well I went ahead and did all 6.

We normally don't do the 5/6 shift forks just because most customers don't every power shift 5/6. Every Bronze fork pad we have ever used does cause some noise but normally if you have exhaust on your car, you will never hear it.

I only bought the 1-4 pads for my rebuild. When I got inside, the 5-6 pads were toast. It was just as easy to buy brass ones from SixSpeedsinc as it was to try and get some palstic ones, so I bought brass. Haven't got the car back together yet, so I cant comment on noise

The shifts on my car feel a lot more solid now since putting in the bronze pads. You can definitely feel the difference in the shift, whether you like it or not is a different matter.

The only way I can describe it is the difference between the two is like the difference in pushing in metal on metal versus metal through plastic. The plastic will be softer and smoother.

I use the tech valley pads in my transmission and have no noise, the car shifts like a dreem!
