I am doing a 6 bolt swap and a 5 speed swap and I am in the process of gathering the parts needed for the tranny swap. I wanted to know which tranny I should get. I have a 95 GSX and know that I have to get a tranny from a 95 or 96 for the 5 speed swap but will the 6 bolt swap effect the year tranny I need?
 
It is wise to keep a 2g tranny as it will bolt right up. I think 1g tranny requires you to move the mount point, although I am not certain.

Since you have a N/t its probably not the best that your reply to a question about an Awd turbo.

You definatly can't even think about using a 1g tranny. First off, a 1g awd tranny only has 4 bolts holding the tranny in place. On a 2g there are 5. Also the mounting places on the 2g are totally different. 1g has 1 tranny mount and 2g have 2mounts on the tranny.

I currently own a 2g awd 5 speed with a 6 bolt motor in it. When I was doing the swap I had to make sure I kept the 2g AWD 5SPEED starter plate. You also can't forget that the axles are different sizes for a 5 speed. You can get any tranny for 95-99 not just the 95-96.

The 6 bolt swap should not effect which tranny you use. If you have a 2g use a 2g tranny.
