The lower 1st gear helps on starts, and there are tracks where you can gear to use 6th only when you have to - ie its dry and you have time and space to use the fastest line rather than a defensive line.
With a 5-speeder you just don't get that option.

Oh, and there is another thread of mine which tells which 'boxes fit, from practical experience and use of the parts catalog.

But what do I know as an ex-racer......

You've been a X racer ever since I've known you just come out of retirement every year.
