Don,
    I have a 4 speed diesel in there, unfortunately. I'd love a 5 speed,
but haven't gotten my mitts on a cheap one yet. The revs won't hurt my
engine, and in fact as it spins up above 4500 rpm it gets very smooth, but
there is a buzzy band around 60-65 which excites my fight or flight
response. And high revs give me a feeling of impending doom, however
unrealistic that is. So I'm in the mood to experiment some more.
    Does Frank have a site? I didn't know that. Could you let me know the
address?

      Many thanks, Sam
