fifth gear harsh under 40mph
 

Am I being drawn in to a joke post here??

Why are you driving below 40MPH in fifth gear and what do you mean by "harsh". No car would enjoy that.

No offence bud, but that post don't really give away a lot??

Wtf are you on about :D

Big play in bottom end? Lol too high a gear surely, im usually 4th max at that speed ive a 6spd

40 in fifth, thats the top end of first/just grabbing second surely? :D

With respect, who taught you to drive?
Feathering the throttle at 40 in 5th can be ok but any form of acceleration will require a change down.
