i've heard the S15 SR transmission is the same casing as the other transmissions, but in order for them to fit an extra gear in there, they had to make the gears skinnier. so if you did a lot of bad shifts, the gears would break since they are weaker. and a lot of people with the new silvias in japan switch out for the 5 speeds.
