Yea I wish someone figured out an easy way to drop in a 6 speed.
really it isn't that much of a dog that I had to drop into 4th on the highway. I've owned some slow a$$ subarus in my day so I am used to going down a hill fast to make the next hill easier.

one example: I was in a construction area that ended as we went up hill. I had this impatient person behind me and when the construction was over I just left it in 5th and left him pass me. I crested the hill and overtook him and that was the end of him. I could have went to 4th but I wasn't in the hurry that he was.
