If I remember correctly, on M96 motors, the bolt pattern is different, but both will bolt up.

Yes, both the five and six speed will bolt up, although the clutch splines are different. But once that is done, you get into the real meat for changing a five speed over to a six; the half shafts are different, as are the six speed rear carriers, e-brakes, etc.
