The Spridgets only came with a 4 speed, and at 70 mph, you are at 5000
rpm, 4:22 rear gear. So getting a Datsun 5 speed is a great addition, it
drops the rpms down to below 4000 at speed. The ribcase Brit unit is
good, and will serve, but at the speeds we run these days, it just isn't
as nice as the 5 speed.
