So since I never get a chance to go fast enough in town to get into fifth or sixth gear in my Camaro that I should call it a 4-speed and not a six-speed?

Just because you don't use the gear doesn't mean the transmission doesn't have it.

The SM465 is a four speed with a granny low first gear not a true three speed manual transmission like the Saginaw that has no granny low.
