I can't comment on the SVT but the duratec and zetec 5-spds turn 3k rpm at 70 on the highway

was jsut trying to say that it may not be dependent upon driving conditions

don't forget as teh brushes wear out they will begin to "float" and that reduces their ability to transfer power

I mean the brushes on my 99 were pretty worn when we changed it out, and it was from NH, when my 95 was always a CT car and it shows no signs of starting to fail
