We have quite a few six speed Octys on here (dont forget the 130PDs were six speed std.

I assume the clutch and flywheel and starter motor will be different the same as the 02M.

everything is different between the 5 and 6 speed boxes, literally everything that touches the gear box.

Well worth the effort though! Just got mine this week, (04 plate standard 130PD 6 speed estate - taken me ages to find one - ) Goes like a rocket or ticks over at 2500rpm doing 90mph. I am not far away, get in touch if you need to measure or compare anything for your conversion!
