help - GEAR BOX 5speed to 6speed?

I have a 2004 Manual 5 speed 192 bhp. (UK/London)

I took the gear box out yesterday and saw there was play (spigot shaft)

Since i need to get a new gear box, i was thinking of getting a 6 speed?

I wanted to know, is it that simple?

I need to know if my properller shaft will fit into the gear box and if the the spigot shaft of the 6 speed gear box will fit into clutch center plate.

Searched for a few clutch kits and there are 5 speed clutch kits and 6 speed clutch kits, so I think i would have to upgrade the clutch kit.

Also, when i took the clutch out, it was a kinda bluish colour underneath =(

I was told its due to over heating or high reving?

I do not over rev stupidly. Sometimes, maybe i put a little more gas in when i am about to pull away. But don't think it would be because of that.

**I am not sure if this is the correct place to post, please do not get offended or what have you, no, this is not a troll thread. One did search, no luck.**

Thank you

49,000 k on the clock.

I'm not sure if putting a 6 speed gear box into my 8 will damage the Engine.

I have had this car for 7 - 8 months.

I'm 20, this is my first car. Most of my time goes on reading about this car, but I have no knowledge about trans and etc...

Any help, opinions, and advice would be great
