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.

Alright, some of you have probably heard of this place, but I just remembered of a place i heard about called Level 10 Performance Transmission Systems (www.levelten.com). But at any rate, they seem to do just such work specializing in Imports...and turns out its only a 20 minute drive from my house...lol.

Art, youre probably right about spending alot of money on an already well designed transmission for stock Celicas, however getting a good condition E153 tranny from a 10+ year old MR2 is getting tougher and tougher for higher horsepower applications like a motor swap. Level 10 does group buys, and it would be great to see if they could give a respectable deal on a cryotreated or "bulletproof" gear set for our S54's, and maybe a longer 5th gear for those who want a better cruising gear for their stock Celicas. Maybe over my christmas break I'll stop by their shop and see what they think.

Anybody else interested??
