there ARE gen4 5-speeds in both 6-cyl and 4-cyl, however the V6 5-speeds were sort of rare.

also from information ive gathered, the V6 5-speed transmissions should be the same from 92-00. There may be minor differences in the tranny mounts due to the possibility of differing subframes. The manual tranny code for V6's is E153.
