Another alternative is the W57/W58 from the Toyota Supra or the late 80s and early 90s. This initially looks too big but does in fact fit quite nicely. It has better ratios than most alternatives but not as good as original. HVDA does a kit to suit the TR6, some of which (bell housing, clutch release) will translate to a GT6 with some TR6 parts. I suspect it's not cheap so may be overkill for a standard, street driven GT6.

Not the easy way to do it but quite cheap!
