Check out the ratios for the 2006 6sp auto:
First gear 4.02
Second gear 2.36
Third gear 1.53
Fourth gear 1.15
Fifth gear 0.85
Sixth gear 0.67
Final drive ratio 2.56
Notable things would be the ultra steep 1st gear and the lack of a true 1:1 gear. Overdrive is slightly taller than the 4 speed's .70
With such a steep 1st gear they can run a lot taller rear gear and still get as good or better 1st gear acceleration than a T56 car with 3.42s.
