Yeah the dims do seem close but the six speed is a lot more square in the middle than the 5. I should watch that dream cars how it's made and see if there are any shots of the transmission in place without any interior on.

Well if that's it then that's wide open. Did they get rid of that extension? I heard that they did something different with it.

Can't do that without a build, I'll have to check out this Peter Dron book.

Yeah, if there's that amount of room, and any covering doesn't tuck up tighter than that then there would be no issue fitting a 6 speed in here. Thanks Tim!

Other than the physical size of the 6 speed gearbox and possibly its cost is there a reason why Morgan would have chosen to use a 5 speed gearbox instead of the 6 speed for the M3W? After all the S&S engine behaves very much like a turbo diesel, loads of torque but a limited rev band and that usually results in a 6 speed box these days. Is it related to the strength of the gearboxes maybe? Could the 6 speed handle the torque peaks?
