I still dont understand why people think 6 speeds are faster then a 5 speed. THe Nissan maxima 5 and 6th are basically overdrives with gearing of somehthing like .8 and .72 ( not really sure )

I just want to do something different and wanted to know if it would work. I really wasn't sure if my performance would improve by that or not, but i would like to think it would, but i'm assuming the gear ratios are closer. If not then i'll just have better gas mileage, which i need anyway. But that's for the reply anyway!

it might actually be stronger than the 5spd since it was built to handle the extra power of the 3.5?
