not to expensive... forget it look about 2000-2500 for a decent 6 speed. 
you'll loose the speedo as all 6speeds have electric speedo and yours is manual. 
You'll have to change the shifter mechanism on your car as well casue it's all 
different. Might have to change the cv shaft and fabricate some mounts.

The gearbox you have is an 016 the 6 speeds are an 01E entirely different 
animals.

in all honesty with enough power you could get by with a 2 speed 
transmission. The urs6 6speeds had the same first and the same final ratio as the 5 
speeds, I believe an extra gear was added between the 5 gears (3rd and 4th?). I may 
be wrong however.
