I've had my car for going on 2 years and yet I cant stop doing this, almost every time I hop on the freeway I accelarate at a rather fast pase 3rd, 4th, 5th and once I get to about 3k in 5th (60-65mph) I pull it out of 5th and try and drop it into 6th I catch myself before I slam into reverse spin out and flip off the road but still why. it makes no sence to me that I always go for a 6th gear when I know I dont have one. Is it me or does the 5sfe tranny gear ratio feel like it should have a 6th gear?
anyone else have a problem with this, and does anyone know of a swapable tranny that has a 6th gear, I know the salara trany bults up, but I thnk its just another 5spd. --------------------  |

Unless you're turbo charged or supercharged with a sh!t load of torque(at LEAST 200+ ft lbs at the wheels)... taller gearing NEVER helps 4 bangers. yep ...they make them short for a reason . think of it this way... with taller gearing, your 2nd gear now feels like 3rd gear.... ouch -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
