theclencher Registered Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 542	Maybe the test protocol left the 5 sp in a lower gear than the 4 sp? I'd actually like to pull a few gears out of my 5 sp. I skip shift all the time and a trans with 1-3-5 would be fine (I'm a flatlander though). I wonder how much trans efficiency gain there would be by having 4 less gears constantly meshing. __________________ Tempo/Topaz: Old EPA 23/33/27 New EPA 21/30/24 F150: New EPA12/14/17
