Has anyone actually fitted a 6 speed gearbox to a Chimaera or Griffith? I seem to remember someone saying that a Borg Warner T55 would fit given some persuasion.

I know someone has managed to fit a sequential box but that is probably a bit extreeme for road use (I presume you have to go through all the gears to get to neutral).

Just something else that I could add to my wish list.

That's the badger. Does it fit?

It stops you having to run at 3000+ rpm on the motorway (err... which is actually 90mph, let's say on a track) when the engine would happily pull you along at the same speed at 2000rpm given an additional gear. The savings in fuel alone...
