Seriously? You do realize that moving the 1:1 gear to fifth means you have closer spaced 1-5 gears, right? It's basically a close-ratio gearbox, which means you'll have a better selection of gears for accelerating out of corners. Also the gearing on the manual is going to be much different than the automatic, where 4th is your 1:1. Personally, I'd rather have an awesome close ratio gear box at the cost of MPG...
