i dont think there's much room in the 5 speed trany. if they were to somehow add a 6th, then it'd be reallly thin.

I'll have a built Shep 6spd ready to sell if you'd like to buy it, but I don't need your 5spd.

^ there is no topic. Just a very broad question from an insecure consumer.

Before everyone gets their panties in a bunch, I was wondering what people thought of swapping trannies. I personally can't stand the fact that I feel like I am beating up my car when I cruise at anything over 75 mph. I thought the 6 spd would give me a lower rpm to cruise at, but I wasn't sure. Hence the thread. I went from a g35 coupe to an m3 to this. I feel like I am driving my old honda from back in the day except my honda was built to maintain those engine speeds. Cruising at 4,000 makes me uncomfortable.
