6 speed with VSS plug are from early s15 the late type dont have them.

Thank you! But what about the actual plastic gear that sits on the shaft inside the tail housing? Am I doomed to track down a blown 5 speed and modify it to work? Or is there a direct replacement for the s15 gearbox?

They did not mention that gear part number. You need to modified other gears for test fit.
And for the extension housing you already have it.

Did you figure this out?

I used the USDM "speedo drive gear" to suit my chassis, ie: speed sensor (5MT - KA - 95) and had it enlarged to fit (I.D.) 28mm.

This part is inside the transmission on the output Shaft, so get the parts guy that has experience with the exploded diagrams, and not the 18yr old.

I got a blown 5 speed for free so that's here I'm gonna steal that part from.

Anyone got the 6mt bell housing bolt sizes or a set I can buy? Bought a 5mt set but half the bolts are way too short - go figure
