there is not a guide that i know of im fitting one at the min
you will need
st170 gearbox
st gear stick and cables
focus gear box mount
new drive shafts
pedal box cause the old brakes hit the st gear changer
and if you going for more than 170bhp a new fly wheel and clutch set up
as you see in the pic you will have to weld in the new mount on the inner wing
also one at the rear
ive also fitted my gear link aswell but no pics as yet

the fly/clutch is a duel mass thing which dont like anything over 170bhp so im told
the pedal box need to have a hydraulic clutch on it also the gear selector on the
gearbox hits the old brake servo
comp brake are making my pedal box pm nuts rus on here
sas on here has a 6 speed box in already he also sells the fly wheel
the gear link is easy remove the old one and bolt the st one on top cut a hole at the front of the tunnel run the cables through the hole thats it
here are some people who have done the 6 speed box
