6mt swap questions

how hard is it to do the 6 speed swap to a 02 wrx. Is it worth it? Ive never driven a 6 speed so how are they for daily driving. shift happy or did notice a difference. I heard a 6 speed is kind of annoying on the highway for cruising but was unsure. how much do these trannys run for and which is the best to use. How about the RA setup is it 5 or 6 speed and is it better than the norm.

its a fairly simple swap. u need the 6mt and wrx auto shaft. it is kinda costly unless u can get the tranny for cheap. also try getting a 6mt without dccd getting dccd 6mt will need more $$$$ to get things to work right. All in all I personally luv my 6mt over the 5mt. 6mt is much stronger can handle lots of HP stock. luv the close gears and the extra gear on the top end. 5mt is kinda weak, but changing the gearing will be alot cheaper then doing 6mt swap, and with 5mt might get better times on the 1/4 compared to the 6mt. but for street and freeways I dont mind the extra gear. =)
