Tom, I have never seen these slower cars slow down with a 5 sp with any gear? Must have been the drivers issues IF the car did slow down with a 5sp compared to a 4sp! Now on our faster stuff with a converter drive, yes we have seen the 5 sp be slower (less efficient) then a 4sp. But when your already going mid 6's in the 1/4, sometimes the converter just doesn't seem to like the 5th gears???? Not sure why that is. I have seen this first hand, 5sp then pulled for a 4 sp. We had BOTH Liberty 4 and 5sp, and about 16 converters to tire. Went through 2 sets of tires that weekend as well. 2600 lbs car, 737 on 10.5w's. And the big motor actually like the PG better then either Liberty's? The 499 A99 Hemi went good with the Liberty 4sp though??
