    I shift first through fourth, skip 5th gear and go to 6th about 90% of the time. Sometimes I skip fourth and fifth.

    Just wondering if anyone with a Man Trans ever uses 5th Gear?

    I skip 5th a lot too, and 3rd and 4th. I wish 6th was a little taller and reverse needs to be way lower. Why does anybody needs to go 40mph in reverse.:confused:

    You'll find that it's a very nice thing to have when you are towing some thing that has some weight or wonder through the Mt's

    No Mr. Salty. That actually works out perfectly. Since you're married and have an automatic, you do use your gears like you use your woman.... WHEN YOU'RE TOLD TO.

    I actually was going to say that he uses his gears like he uses his woman;

    With minimal input about what actually happens, and when.
