I love that you think I'm serious about everything I say lulz


you don't know enough about cars, auto mechanics, or engineering in general to make any sarcastic jokes about it so stop trying to front after we call you out for being a dipshit

That means that the car doesn't have enough power to pull in overdrive. Most 5 speed cars see their max speed in 5th though. 6 speed cars usually see it in 5th.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering why he forgot to close his hood.


sometimes at higher speeds these hoods will start rattling like crazy. when i say higher speeds i only mean 60-70

As an example, with stock gears my car will redline 5th at ~192. 6800rpm in 6th is something stupid like 260mph. 6th gear is a .50:1 ratio. It's there purely for fuel economy.


Most 5 speed cars have a 5th gear ratio around .75:1. They should be able to pull in 5th unless they are severely underpowered (honda).
