Adding the 6 gear in the middle of the manual gear range does not make any sense. It does nothing for highway fuel mileage and is just more work. I had a 6 speed and was relieved when I went to the F6B's 5 speed.Originally Posted by 98valk
What I originally saw must have been a mis-print. It doesn't make any sense to add a gear without lowering the rpms.
The more correct info shows top gear at 60mph will be at about 2000 rpms, vs 2550. Yea!!!! BTW, this was calculated by someone. There is a graph in this link that clearly shows top gear is a whole step above our old top gear.
