No just a 4 speed auto. Once it gets to about 40 it shifts into 4th and just builds rpm from there. Turning 25-2600 at 60.

Funny thing is that 60 is about the bottom of the powerband in 4th. You have to let off to get it to cruise at 65, otherwise it just keeps accelerating, I think the turbo is coming on. It is going to take some experience to figure where it cruises most economical.
