6-spd swap?

Has anyone swapped their 5-speed (TJ 4.0L ) tranny for newer 6-speed? Any known problems or complications in this swap? Thanks!

The five speeds are supposedly superior to the newer six speeds. The only people I've ever heard say this have sixes.

Could be true, could be they ae trying to hoard all the goodies . . .

I've only heard of one person doing this swap. From what I remember there was some problems installing the TPS or such on the Bellhousing. Somehow he got it done.

Thanks for the post on the ratios. I was hoping to have a quieter top gear .. I guess I do
