Its something like .17g of pull in 5th and .33g of pull in 3rd.
4th pulls at about .25g.

Great info. Thanks!
Edit- Tried it out tonight and wow. I'm a newbie to MTs, so I've never considered skipping gears down, but the difference in acceleration is quite noticeable. I went 6->4 and it felt like the car pulled noticeably harder than 5th.
