It can be done, will turn out to be quite expensive, above 50K.

The gearbox parse have to be changed and not simply overhauled and a new ratio added.

This is not worth the cost involved because the 5 speed model has a better engine (about 10BHP more). If you are looking for more power then you may try FFE and K&N Air filter.

See the video of 5 speed original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et_rnlokMNc
