"5. The "Trans. Speeds" number of transmission speeds l isted in a car’s specification line indicates the maximum is the number of
forward gears that may be operable by the driver from the normal seated position (e.g. a 6 speed transmission with 1 forward
gear removed/disabled is considered a 5 speed transmission).
6. The "Trans. Speeds" number listed in a car’s specification line indicates the maximum number of forward gears that may
be operable by the driver from the normal seated position (e.g. a 6 speed transmission with 1 forward gear removed/disabled is
