The GTIR never came with a 6 speed. You might be thinking of the 6 speed that was used with the SR20VE. The band-aid (cryo and re-shotpeening) that I've used so far in conjunction with the Redline heavy gear oil has worked well so far.

One of our staff writers is working with an Australian company to develop a straight cut gearset for 1st gear through 4th. 5th gear will be helical so at least you can cruise on the highway without the whine from straight cut gears. These gears will be significantly stronger than anything else developed for the fwd SR20. When we have it, we'll have a full write-up.
