Im looking to change my transmission from the stock 3 speed to a new 5 or 6 speed manual. Any recommendations of what transmission to buy?

I just finished an auto to 5 speed manual conversion using the TKO - 500 kit from Keisler Engineering. This was a good experience from day 1 and I highly recommend them for both product and service. Here a link to my documented installation.
