Possibly a LITTLE off topic here, but this is a better reason to consider a 5-speed trans (4gears + O/D) such as a T5 for it's ability to keep the engine operating within the favorable torque band (RPM-wise), vs the importance of the benefits realized from the O/D. When you think it thru, the T5 gives you the best of BOTH worlds. Just a thought for the few folks that are actually considering the use of one of these transmissions. You know what they say....."Once you go T5, you'll never go back", or words to that effect! DD
