The parts guy is full of sh*t. He must have been pulling your leg.

The cases on the 1700 are wider to accomadate the extra gear.

You can't out 10 gallons of Dealer Shit in a five gallon bucket.

I've heard some say you can convert the old 4 speeds to 5 but thats impossible also.

He's probably referring to trading your '99 up to a 2013 Nomad or a Vaquero.

The transmission in these engines is not a separate unit, like it is on a Harley. If you want a 6 speed, you're going to have to buy a 1700 I'm afraid.
