mikeshoup Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 What gear are you asking for? And also, what's the gear ratio of your gearbox? (look at the tag on the rear diff) Results won't help you much unless you answer those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86ruguy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 well if yours is like mine was...3200 should be 60mph and 3600 should be 64 or 65 in 5th gear...this is with 3.70 gear ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTMCO Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 What you need is a friend with a working speedometer and 2 cell phones (or a set of preselected hand signals!). Have him follow you and when you get to the RPM you want, ask him how fast you are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 With my 1982, I was turning 3000 at 55mph:burnout: but I think the 82's were geared lower than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow65 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 well if yours is like mine was...3200 should be 60mph and 3600 should be 64 or 65 in 5th gear...this is with 3.70 gear ratio But funny how with the 3.90s you get a better freeway gear, and by better I mean lower RPMs. That is only taking in to consideration the gear ratios only, not figuring for wheel size.

Petersubaru Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 the gear ratio on the diff reads 3.90 and my original question refers to the 5th gear...Thanks What gear are you asking for?

My 3.7 turbo tranny holds 3200 at 65mph in 4th gear. 5th gear is much lower, I think like 2700rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
