Please give me some insight on this. I hear that cars built with automatic transmissions are different then cars built with a 5 speed? Motor wise, i hear that the 5 speeds are built for higher rpm? Is this true? I always thought they were the same. The reason i am conserned about this is that i replaced the stock motor from an automatic car, with a motor from a 5 speed. Still using an automatic transmission.
