Not surprised. 5th is 1:1, like 4th is in a normal 5spd g/box.

You need to get used to high rev engine. 3000 RPM is the lowest I would use for normal driving in this car. Everything below it is almost unusable. In my previous car (RX-8) it was 4000 RPM, but I could spin it up to 9000, so had enough useful range left.

Nature of the beast. Is there any reason in particular it bothers you (i.e. do you find it noisy, or?)

LOL. If it sounds like it's ready to shift, why not help it out and put it into 6th?
