Except it doesn't leak hydaulic fluid all over the tarmac and actually flies
more than it breaks down.... The Soviets took the C5 and went one better.

Re: How is the new six speed transmission for Wrangler?
I cant tell since I went from 3.07 five speed with 31's to the 4.11 six
speed with about the same size tire. I do know i can pass in 5th, and 6th
will work at any speed above 40 without much problem. in 6th I am doing
about 50 MPH at 2000 RPMs.

Re: How is the new six speed transmission for Wrangler?
To quote an article in the November issue of HOTROD magazine, about the new
modular GM six-speed auto that is coming out this fall,
"The more gears in the transmission, the wider the potential ratio range
from First to the top gear can be without causing the engine rpm to drop too
low between shifts. The wider the transmission's ratio range, the easier it
is to combine a low First gear to launch the car with a steep top gear for
overdrive cruising. GM engineers estimates that the wide ratio will help to
reduce the 0-60 times by as much as 7%.
BMW and Mercedes already offer a seven speed auto (and soon an eight) to
keep the relatively low torque, overhead cammed engines in the fat part of
their powerbands."
It is an interesting read.
