I agree Chris, most I have seen have been saying 5 speed. Why not use the 6 speed in the current MR? I'll be pissed if it comes out with a 5 speed.

They can use that as a starting point maybe, but Mitsu seriously needs to revamp the way they design and manufacture transmissions since there are tons of fairly low mileage EVO's that have already had their tranny rebuilt or getting notchy/troublesome. I'm sure most of it is due to poor driving technique, but still, they should last longer than this.

The six speed in the MR is not a mitsu tranny, it is built by ASIN. Generally people seem to have more issues with syncros on the five speed, and with the six speed you will find a weaker fourth gear but better shifting and syncros.
