Yes they are different. I have the Getrag box which is excellent.
Firstly the ride is different with the 5 link rear.
The seats were recliners & I &
found them less comfortable and also higher.
Clearly there is more torque & power but it is not really generally usable.
6th gear is nice for cruising but then the car seems to like 80 mph and with speedo out of sight I could easily loose my license. I couldn't live with the speedo where it is.
