Ya but after riding in your car last weekend, our 6th on the 4.3 is kinda too low for me. I rarely cruise for long periods at 80+ because I don't make many long trips. And if you look at the gear ratios, the 02-04 type-s has the same ratio 6th as the 5 speed's 5th, and it uses a 4.3 FD, so to me that means it was more designed for it. But depending on how much it would all cost to get that 6th gear, I would just use my 6th gear with the 4.3
