6th should be a nice cruising gear so you still have get up and go while you're burning your way up through fifth.
Pics please.
offtopic : I should have made a pic in the corridor at the PHX hotel when I said nice skirt. Guess you dont remember. Its just Id like a wallsize pic of that

hehehe I vaguely remember something like that happening...
I bought a new car today and it seems to have six gears - which I'm not used to. Any idea how I'm supposed to use this?
Anyone know anything about super chargers?
Yes Rochard, I know a good deal about cars and 6-speeds can be very tricky and if you don't know how to shift exactly right each time they will break very easily. Just to be on the safe side, you should probably send it down here and let me dri.... uh, I mean, inspect and examine it for you.... and since it's you, no charge.
Seriously though, congrats on the new purchase. What did you get?
cluth in, move to 1st gear, slowly let off the clutch and on to the gas
then clutch down and slip into 2nd gear,
then...

6th gear is basically to keep rpm's low at higher speed which will save gas... besically with 5 speed you can go lets say 120mph at 5500rpm, but with 6th gear you will do 120mph at lets say 3500rpm which will save gas...
6 speed usually has shorter throws, but 5speed has longer throws which means you will be in power band longer before switcing gears... i hope it made sence

Depending on the trans fifth will be a 1.2 or 1.5 to 1 overdrive and 6th will be heavier.
But one some model transmisions first gear has a real short rpm ratio top out so you can hardly get moving in it before you need to shift.
either way just play with it and get used to it.
15 years as a Provincial Auto technician finally pays off at GFY who would have thought.
Yikes, I just bought another Mustang. Cobra this time around.
And the six gears are indeed fucking with me; I'm not used to it but then again I've only driven the car like eight miles. It's just so odd putting the car into sixth gear where reverse normally is.

what are you talking about? A manual gearbox? Or 6 gears in an automatic instead of 5? That doesnt matter i guess, its still a brake and a gaspedal only....
In europe only women who cant drive have cars with automatic gearboxes ;)
I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?
I find it funny people in the US don't know how to drive with stick, here in Europe like nico says you either have to be a retard or a shit driver to even think about automatic...bahhh
