You will see this if you take the gear ratio of the gear and the final drive. However, 4th gear and 5th gear in the GTS trans are significantly shorter.
Just so you know I have access to the service manual like everybody else and I've known those differences for years now. Hence why I said I wanted to use the final drive from the GT F5M51. That with the GTS gearset would make a pretty much perfect combination for me (and better gas mileage in 5th - a turbocharged V6 doesn't need to sit at 3000 RPM at highway cruise). I'm not going to argue with you over what I know I want...
