I do a lot of highway driving and am missing a 6 speed tranny. My ix 5 spd has 2500 miles on it and never abused.

 

lol. i was thinking the same thing. i do a lot of highway also. the 6th gear would be nice.

bump for you

 

why would u throw ur money away like that especially the car has only 2500miles? but its ur money after all.

 

he wants the 6th gear for cruising on the freeway. it'll save gas

 

you should it tough about that before purchasing 5 speed vehicle...

 

Doesn't the six speed actually get worse mileage?

 

I'm not sure here, but are you trying to do a buy/sell thing here?

 

did someone say they will trade me for a 5 speed for a 6....lol i have one!!!!pm me

 

The 5 speed version has better listed highway mileage then the 6 speed

 

5 Speed is perfect unless you doing over 170MPH.

 

the 6th gear will put you at a lower rpm, which makes it perfect for highway cruising.

and yes, the 5 speed has a listed higher mpg.

 

Do you think just sending it to TRE and get the final drive done ? wouldn't it be cheaper ?

 

I'd love to trade you but the 6-speed only drops your cruising RPM in top gear by about 100 rpms. I cruise at about 3300 rpms at 80 and my friend's 5-speed Evo cruises at about 3400 rpm at 80. I'd keep the 5-speed if I were you.

 

its just like riding a street bike, its always a high rpm but the 5spds are rated higher. but its personal preferance

 

but 6speed ftw! lol
