Miss shifting, kinda, Whats rong with me Options

[creis]

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.

I know the 5SFE tranny uses a .820 5th gear ratio, and the final drive is also rather high as well. I would love a 6th gear, this has often been a huge thing for me since im always doing highway driving and our cars dont cruise easily at around 80-85 MPH without being at pretty high revs and possibly wasting more gas....although you can also argue that engines are actually more efficient at higher RPM's, but thats whole different discussion.

Would it be feasable to get a company to make a longer 5th and maybe 4th gear for us? I'm sure theres a company that could do this.....even better, make a full cryo-treated gear set with a slightly longer 4th and 5th gear that will stand up easily to the abuse of swapped and turbo applications. Maybe this is too ambitious, but think of all the Celicas and MR2's using the S54 that would benefit from this.
