Anyone ?

Are you using the original front drive shafts? In an S2 they are different lengths for 5speed and 6speeds.

Are you sure about this? I'm fitting a 6spd into my 3B soon and according to this post from Jeffer, the 3B ones fit

Not anymore now that you mention it, ETKA does list the same part number for both. Very strange, I have it written down in my notes as being required, i even bought a set for my conversion

if you are puting a ABY 6spd gearbox into a 3b, it will fit no worries. however you will need a ABY linkage and driveshaft also. i have done this already to my own 3b last year.
