Here's Metro talking about a fifth gear swap for his car, though he might not have done it: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...eady-9918.html

I saw some others for an Escort and a Saturn who seemed to be relatively satisfied with a 5th gear swap. Reported FE gains anyway.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
