Manual 6th vs. 5th gear
OK. Started to hijack another thread with this, so I thought I'd do the right thing and start my own thread on it.
I was wondering why 6th is geared so low. My RPM's are up there when cruising on the highway. I was wondering if it's possible for a trans guy to pop that gear out of there and put a taller one in.
In my original comments, I was saying my RPM's are up over 4,000 when cruising on the highway, and I thought that was somewhere around 95-110 MPH. I wasn't sure though and said I'd check.
OK, so at 90 MPH I'm at about 3,400 RPM in 6th. If I drop down to 5th, it's 3,800 RPM. Not much of a spread there. I'd like to drop at least 1,000 RPM going from 5th to 6th.
