Yes, but we are talking about skipping 2 whole gears here. let me take you for a ride down the road as it sits with no 3rd and 4th gear. and then go for a ride after i get the transmission in my car.
Heres a good example- I had a 1987 5.0 mustang pull on me from 70-130mph because i dont have 3rd and 4th gear. and i could not catch him because i spent forever in 5th gear.
