Thinking of moving to a 6 speed

4th gear gave out on my 5 speed VW/Audi transmission in the race car this past weekend during qualifying for Sunday's race. I have thought for a long time that a 6 speed with gears (still no one makes gears for the 5 speed that I know) would be a wake up for the car. Well, now is the time to do it, but it comes with a few questions:

1) Is the Aasco flywheel I have in the car the same for the S and 2.7L? On two separate sites that sell the flywheel it looks to be, just want to confirm.

2) What about the clutch. I know the 2.7 and 3.2L are different, but I am assuming that is more for power than anything. Will my 2.7L race clutch work?

3) The axles are different for the 3.2L and 2.7L. Any idea why? Are they again for the HP or something more?

4) What else do I need to consider for this? Shifter, shift cables...??

I am posting this on a few sites, sorry for the duplication but want to get it out to a crowd for discussion.

Thanks for your help.
