But , what if I have to gas way more frequently in 5th, as it acts like I'm lugging it? and takes much longer to get back to 50ish from 45 (my low speed in my P&G)?

It's almost like I'm over geared at the target speed range.(43-52 mph)

thats why I mentioned I don't have the stock tranny for a vert, but from a lighter 4 dr metro.


I am sure in my metro, changing to 12 inch tires, would make 5th a better choice in my target range. But when I do drive the interstate, I would have higher revs.

Another question... Is 3000 rpms the best in all gears or just 5th?

Thanks for your HO, Navy
