With a .642 top gear coupled with a 3.77 ring and pinion, that thing must 
really cruise at low rpm in top gear--just what you need with your high gas 
prices over there!   Yes, inputting those values in the ZF Gear Calculation 
program on Panteraplace.com reveals that in 5th gear at 2000 rpm you're going 
65 mph--not bad!   So long as your engine has torque anyway! :>)
