A buddy has an '02 that needs a converter. Will a 6 speed one work or does it need to be a 5 speed?

It sounds like he has a 6 speed converter to use so it really doesn't matter, but do the stock 5 speed converters hold a little better than the stock 6 speed converters? I think I heard they did but not sure.

You are correct Landon. Precision has fixed the weakness in the 6 speed converter with a new sprag.:thumb: Ron at Suncoast has also done it.
