Wonder if that has something to do with your cam/converter setup? I can run mine in 6th at 60 mph and have no chugging.

75-78 is 5th gear stuff. Hmmmm. Huh, that’s interesting to say the least.

I don't see where he stated it was an auto he just stated it looked like ATF that came out, which is what I run in my M6. Judging by the fact he said the dealer told him to run gear oil tells me it's an M6 not an Auto.

Yes that’s the conclusion I’ve came to. About 2100 RPMs or lower in 6th it must be setting on the lope and causing it to feel like I’m bogging it down and it’s chugging. It also happens below 1900 RPMs in 3rd and 4th.
