I posted gear ratios for both of 'em somewhere once. Let me dig 'em up again and I'll edit this post.

So it's not that the 5-manual is "short," I think it's just that they are keeping cost down by using an existing transmission. It's more a matter of the PowerShift being long-er. That's my take.

TRANSMISSION

Final drive 4.07 to 1

Optional PowerShift™ 6-speed automatic

Final drive 3.895 for gears 1, 2, 5, and 6. 4.353 for gears 3, 4 and R.
