[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1165368, member: 14668"] 4 speeds suck. The cars they are in (GMC P-800's or P-1000's) are horribly underpowered with a puny little 4.3 liter V-6 engine. Going up a steep hill you are stuck between gears; they cant pull hills in 3rd so you have no choice but to dump it down into 2nd, floor it, and creep your way up the hill at 17MPH with the motor screaming at maximum RPM's. The 5 speeds give you a usable 3rd gear for hills, its a lot easier to keep them in the power band. [/QUOTE]
