In view of the fact that some folks are now fitting six-"speed" gear-boxes; how about we ask Jeff to add another sprocket? 
When my wife bought a new VW Polo earlier this year, she was asked if she wanted to try out the 7-"speed" automatic! Jeez, I can remember when some auto-boxes only had TWO "speeds!
