What? Really?


Long gear ratios? In a 6 speed? For most of the MT history it had 3 gears. Those were long gears ratios.


The manufacturers have to meet emission and mileage controls. Those requirements dictate gear ratios. This is why you now have 6 or even 8 gears in a MT.


Oh and this dude is annoying as fuck and only gives you part of the story.
