A question for Jeff, and for those of you that have used these 5-speeds with a WBX... Are the 1-2-3-4 gears geared the same as a standard 4-speed? What is your typical 5th gear cruising speed/RPM at 60-70 mph on a freeway? How much is mpg increased? I guess I'm contemplating one of these with my '86 weekender and its 2.1 rebuilt WBX. thanks for any and all input. /james
