[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 623212, member: 38"] It's a world better than a 4 speed. You just are always more likely to have a more suitable gear for the speed you're doing. Especially useful if you only have modest horsepower - my 1955cc is only around 100bhp. The 901 gearbox I have has a taller first, second and third gears so they all follow on nicely from each other rather than having big gaps. 4th gear is roughly the same as a 3-rib gearbox, and then 5th drops the cruising rpm significantly :) [/QUOTE]
