Can some help with the figures?
I just want to check I'm in top gear really....... :?:
I have a V6 and at 70ish what revs should I be sitting at in top? Thanks. Is there a fact sheet or a set of gear ratios sitting somewhere?
Regards
Terry

About 3000 rpm on my 2.5 v6 with 16 inch wheels.

Hi Terry,

Does this help........

(mph/2000rpm) for each
gear.
1st – 11.2MPH
2nd – 20.4MPH
3rd – 32.0MPH
4th – 50.3MPH

+/- 8%

Cheers..
