Supposedly in the 6-speed transmission, 5th is the closest to 1:1.

4th is 1.137 so really not much difference between the 2 gears and it will probably be a stronger gear anyway. if your tuner is doing your car in 5th I would ask how good is he cause he should know all this kind of stuff...

Clutch failed on Friday. Could still drive (carefully) but it was slipping pretty much the whole time. Glad I ordered the clutch when I did. New parts getting fitted today.

Just need to get back on the dyno now.
