There are at least 4 different speed sensors depending on diff and gear ratios. Because the 6 speed is different to your 5 speed you'll need to change to the right sensor. See the link:

Mazda should be able to tell oyu which one is correct in a 6 speed (I think it's the green one)

cheers

Yes, if you have not changed the diff ratio from what was originally behind the 5-speed.

Cheers,
