    I've entertained this idea, but do not wish to put the work involved into it.... I can stick with a 5spd and be happy.... I'll never drive an ATX, have always driven MTX and it's always been good to me...

      90% of the time a 6speed has the same final gear ratio as similarly available 5 speeds. Hell, some of the older 4 speeds had better end gearing for highway driving than the 5'ers that replaced em.

      No offense to a fun idea, but in reality a heavier bulky expensive transmission is the inefficient route to go if your looking for mileage.

          An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

            Are you saying that your Festiva has a 4 speed transmission?
