Warren, I have the same dilemma. I have an R32 but with the 5.4 engine first seems very low - not that I have driven it much - and first is not something I want to use too often. That's how I made my last (and hopefully only) minor mess. What is the end result we should be looking for? Aussie Mike provides some great figures about cruising and gear change speeds, but is there a 'standard' that is best? I have the T45, 5 speed gearbox behind the 5.4 SOHC.
BTW, am planning on coming home for good in 3 months which means I will get to learn all this quickly.... Cheers. Pete
