Todd,
I thought I might update you on my engine and 5 speed tranny combo.

To refresh your memory...I did some mods to the engine and installed a 5
speed tranny W/.70 fifth gear.
I can go from 35 to 100+ in fifth gear with no engine strain.
I  can go to 75 mph in fourth gear RPMs @5000 with no engine strain.
The five speed better fits the various speed limits  better than the four
speed.

Engine RPMs at 70 mph in fifth are 3200 with 205x70x14" tires.

I broke my tranny in with dino oil and it would not shift to second until
the tranny was warm and sometimes it would not go in even when warm without
some grinding or pressure to get it in second.  I switched to Redline MTL
after 1600 miles and now it goes into second easy when 18 degrees outside
with no grinding.  The locking diff also behaves better with the Redline.
They might just need to switch oil.

Robert
