For those with 1UZ Manual Swap
Mostly applies to the W58 (most common from research on the forums, other transmissions are welcome)...when you swapped over to the 5spd..
1) how did your gas mileage differ? City/freeway.
2) where are your RPM's at when cruising on the freeway. 70-75mph
3) How was the power difference? From what I read on the forums, the automatic's dyno pretty low due to it's complicated transmission computer.
Just want as much information as possible before I make my decision. Don't want to lose it as my daily driver due to poorer gas mileage/high RPM cruising.
THANKS!

I didn't notice any gas mileage difference, but I wasn't looking for any. 75mph is 3000 RPM on stock tire size. More torque and power are on tap because you can hold a gear as long as you want instead of letting the auto shift its way to 4th as fast as possible...and a lot less less drivetrain loss
