When I drive around town, I usually just shift 1-2-3-5, and sometimes just 2-3-5. When I make a turn from a stop, I am in second by mid-turn, and I'm in third a couple seconds after that.
The protege is really fun to drive around town and it's comfortable on the highway, but its gearing is just atrocious. ~3k at 65mph is such a waste of fuel. *REALLY wants 5th gear swap.*
I wonder if an I4 Probe/626 5th gear would fit in my tranny. If I get a free minute, I'll call search car-part.com for 626 transmissions, call the junkyards, and ask if they know the compatibility with my Protege transmission.
