915 4speed vs. 5speed
I'm trying to decide between a 4 speed or a 5 speed trans on a 1972T. The car will be a daily driver in stock form. I know 5th gear is higher and will result in lower RPM's at speed than the 4 speed, but what is the real difference? How many RPM's will I save and what might the driveability be like??
Thanks

I think that the ratios for fisrt & top gear are the same for the 915 4 & 5 speed transmissions. ie. 4th gear in the 4-speed is the same ratio as 5th in the 5-speed. I'd go for the 5 speed anyday- much more driveable & fun.
