I have a GPS in the car and look at the true MPH / RPM. In sixth gear for every 2,000 RPM there is a 5 MPH change. In 5th gear there is a 4 MPH change for every 2,000 MPH. This is on my car and my GPS. Errors may exist due to operator error, tach off, GPS MPH off. But, here is what I came up with.

'01 S 6 Speed

6th Gear...............5th Gear

RPMs......MPH........RPMs.......MPH
2600......65...........2600.......53.5
2800......70...........2800.......57.5
3000......75...........3000.......61.5
3200......80...........3200.......65.5
3400......85...........3400.......69.5
3600......90...........3600.......73.5
3800......95...........3800.......77.5
4000......100..........4000.......81.5
