Hmmm.
Those supra 6 speeds are hard to come by, and when you do find one, they are fairly expensive- upwards of $2500, I believe. The right places to ask are at jap import wreckers, or post a thread in our "parts wanted" section.
However, the Supra 6 speed won't go in your Mirage. The Supra is a "rear wheel drive" car, which in this case means the motor is in the front, and the driving wheels are at the back. The 6 speed gearbox is mounted to the back of the motor, and connected to the rear wheels by driveshafts and other fantastic trademarked gadgets.
Your Mirage, however, is a "front wheel drive" car. That means the motor is in the front, and drives the FRONT wheels. You cannot fit the (rather long) 6 speed Supra gearbox onto the back of your motor.
Perhaps some other guys on here may be able to suggest a 6 speed FWD (front wheel drive) gearbox to suit your Mitsubishi.
Good luck.
