See here on a six speed trap door the area on the trap door that indention would be obstructed by.  That pipe plug top center is the retainer for the shift arm shaft.  On a five speed that shaft doesn't come through the trap door.  It stops at the case and is held in place by the trap door.

Aftermarket side covers that adverstise themselves as working both ways must be cast like the six speed cover.  It would work either way.

hello  all ; i was told that 1 of the side covers  is a little deeper to make up for the difference in the thickness of the gears .......  i never checked but it mite be worth checking....  thanks , jeff

No other interference I found except that center part of the casting.  Neither cover hit the bearings on either gear set.  Even if you had to set them on a little cockeyed to clear that center indentation.

In case anyone is looking.  I just bought a Baker OD6 complete Dyna trans in black off Dennis Kirks clearence site for $824 bucks plus $10 for shipping.  Going to strip out the gear set and transplant into my SERG.  But a Baker 6 speed for $824 bucks is a steal.  Don't know if they have anymore but worth watching.

That is an amazing bargain.  The six speed gear set I put in the SERG was an eBay score a couple months ago for $890.  That was a dandy bargain.  But you're Baker price was even better.  Congrats on the great score.  All they do is buy stock cases for this complete units so there's nothing special about the exchange.

Have no idea if this would the same on the Baker.  But pay close attention to the shifter.  Changing from stock five speed gear set to the SE six speed gear set on my 2000 required changing the shift shaft sleeve in the case also.  Longer sleeve and longer alignment screw for the six speed parts.  Not something one would have readily noticed if only changing gear sets from one case to another without a cheat sheet for help.  Don't know what they might be on the Baker exchange.  But compare everything.  Little subtle differences like that might bite a guy in the ass.

Not surprised they played together.  The combination that won't work is the five speed's trap door and the six speed's side cover.  Other trap doors change the mix.

May not have to worry about the decision SG.  Waded through the Dennis Kirk website last night and found no more super-priced Baker gear sets.  Darn....

SG,
If you're serious about an OD6, contact Rod's Performance http://rodsperformance.com or Bob Wood http://www.woodcarbs.com/.  Both have "Builder's Kit's" on the shelf.  Thanks.

Though likely not at the $824 price we were all going to get stocking stuffings for that Godeater mentioned from Dennis Kirk .

That is true.  Plan on ~$2100.00 plus shipping.
