How many gears you got???
How many gears you got???
Not sure if this has been asked here already, but I didn't see a poll or anything after a quick search.
Anyway, tell us how many forward gear ratios your manual transmission vehicle has. If you have more than one manual transmission vehicle, then use the one you drive most.

Re: How many gears you got???
I have a 5 speed made by Getrag, but I forget the exact number. My car could definitely use a 6th speed, especially for the freeway. Highway driving is fine in 5th, but freeway is a bit loud.

Re: How many gears you got???
Potential for an interesting poll. 6-speed here. In fact, my last 4 cars have been 6-speed.

5-speed, which is just right for the 2.3L Ranger.

Re: How many gears you got???
Six here. My last three cars were all 5-speeds. I for sure like having one more.
Re: How many gears you got???
Somehow I had a guess that you were the one who answered 4 speed.mtheis wrote:4-speed in the Tercel and 5-speed in the Celica.

Re: How many gears you got???
If the 6 speed from the Focus ST could bolt right into my car without losing the clutch feel that I have right now I would swap it when I have some extra money. I think it could prove to return even better mileage by being able to rev lower in more situations. I don't know if that would mess anything up though.
I think the engines are related.

Really? Wow....you noob. LOLsix wrote:I've only ever driven 6-speeds.
I'm getting old. When I learned to drive, 6-speed manuals didn't exist....but 5-speeds did, so I guess I'm not THAT old.
Re: How many gears you got???
For sure it will be interesting. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been polled before. I figured 5-speeds would be most popular on the forum and so far it looks like that's the way the poll is heading.AHTOXA wrote:Potential for an interesting poll. 6-speed here.
