4.56 final drive with 6th gear from an auto??

Just a question, would the 6th gear from the automatic drop into my manual? It seems it would be a perfect over drive gear for the 4.56 final drive I just installed. 1-5 is perfect if I had a taller 6th strictly for cruising my car would be perfect to the max!

umm I don't even know where to start on this but the answer is no. Nothing in a auto will work in a manual

I've driven from the D.C. area to Pittsburgh twice, using the cruise control set at the various speed limits (50-70 mph) of the Pennsy Turnpike and I get 34+ mpg, calculating manually. I never use the MPG feature of the instrument panel. I usually down shift from 6th to 5th if the tach goes below 2,000. I have a dash-mounted vacuum gauge and it helps in keeping my right foot lighter.
