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.
