DR 5 speed gear ratios?


Recommended Posts

What are the gear ratios in my 1986 GL Dual Range 5 speed manual transmission?

 

I am trying to figure out how fast I am really traveling MPH with the 26" tires.

 

I can use this formula if the 5th gear was a 1:1 ratio.

 

RPM = (MPH X Gear Ratio X 336) / Tire Diameter

 

OR

 

MPH = (RPM X Tire Diameter) / (Gear Ratio X 336)

you can plug in your tire sizes here for a multiplier....
