Welcome to the forums.

You didn't mention if you have the 4x4 or the FWD, but the Getrag 6 speed from the SRT4 is FWD only.

That said, following this thread might be helpful:

It's possible, but WAYYYY more trouble than it's worth. I believe there's a thread or 2 here if you search.

Mine hasn't gone out, but it's thinking about it. Presuming I get it fixed, I'm going with a new or rebuilt OEM.

Ya ill probably have to look at rebuild but figured 6spd could get even better gas mileage

Do you have the 2.4 or 2.0? The 2.0 might not be able to turn the taller gear ratio. My 2.0/5-spd spends a lot of time in 4th and even 3rd on hills.

Sorry to thread jack but how hard would it be to convert the 5 speed into awd? I currently have a 5 speed caliber with a srt 4 swap. I was going to do the 6 speed swap but it looks like the 5 speed may be simpler to swap to AWD

Also what was the EOL for your 5 speed transmission symptoms?

My friend I had something like that happen to me. I felt my clutch pedal pop and then noticed i could not shift into 4th gear. then i had a hard time shifting into all my gears. I took the transmission down and it happen to be the spring in my clutch got destroyed. My transmission fluid had no shavings as well.

I am pretty sure it is just your clutch if the fluid looks good.
