Roobaflu Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 ok, broke a speedo cable, on an ea81 d/r 5 speed, stock tire size, in 5th gear, high range, what rpm should I be turning at 55 and 65? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I assume you dropped the 5-speed D/R in? If so then you should be cranking about 2500 for 55, and just under 3k for 65 - 5th gear is a bit hard to approximate, the others are easier. The cable is easy to get at on the tranny side (at least in EA82 cars) - fix it and forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaflu Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm going to fix it, but I need to drive the car until I get the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Tire size is another factor in this equation. Got a GPS unit? That's what I used to help gimme an idea of my speed. Just go with the flow of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
