According to Honda, the tranny was specifically designed for the EP, but I dont understand why they would make 5th gear taller, like an overdrive gear. As the ratios are right now, I wish I had a 6th gear.
In fact yesterday I was driving on the freeway with alot on my mind and was in "auto pilot" mode, mentally, and I actually tried shifting into "6th" gear sensing that it was time to shift ( I was going about 85) But i laughed to myself and thought I must really need an extra gear for high speed cruising. ;)
