I really like the 6 speeds in my V6...I think the spacing is just about perfect really. I can see adding a 7th or 8th gear so that 6 - 8 end up becomming the highway gears.

Leave 1st where its at, and then just bring gears 2 - 5 in a bit tighter and I think that would be nice. I do like being able to get well over 100 MPH in 3rd though...I would hate to give that up but I'm thinking I'd have to give that up if those gears are brough in tighter.

I don't see a need for 9 - 10 gears at all.
