For what it worth I thought I would throw this in to the pot while its hot.

06/ 07 Five Speed Auto Gear ratios for all models are as follows:-
1st 3.520
2nd 2.042
3rd 1.400
4th 1.000 (direct drive)
5th 0.716 (Over Drive Auto Lock-up)
Reverse 3.22

Differential Ratio 3.909 : 1 (D4D Turbo Diesel)?? I believe Different in New Zealand same as for Petrol ??
3.727 : 1 (Petrol)

Fazza :P
07 D4D Oil burner Still standard fit-out, including Dunlop AT20s

The standard L,2,3,4 and D

Theres the answer.. 5 speed. the torque converter locking up feels like the 6th gear you are feeling.

Ok just for interests sake - went for a drive up the freeway and repeatedly went through the gears taking notes.
Accelerating while in top gear would always kick down to between 4th and top and hold steady for a while before going back to top. From start and watching tacho and speedo recorded the following speeds at 2000 rpm.
1st - 19
2nd - 35
3rd - 50
4th - 74
??? - 93
Top - 111
Do these compare with others and do others kick down from top to something higher than 4th?

I would suggest that the ???93 is the Auto OD lock up, as it will come & go at different throttle & load situations. May even feel like you have a 10 speed auto??

The D4D prados imported from the Japan market are 4 speed autos not 5 speed autos as here in Nz and Australia
