RPM Question

just woundering, but what are some of you getting for rpm readings at 75 in various gears in both the 5 speeds and 6 speeds?

thanks kyle

at 70 mph in 5th gear on my 5sp NA, i'm right at 3100 rpms. so at 75mph i would be around 3500rpms.

i'm very curious as to why you asked the question. i can only think of transmission related problems, or speedo-gear problem, something similar. please tell, i wanna know, don't leave me hangin.

LOL...:grinyes: your so desperate linebcker! are you still sitting around bored... it will be ok dude a few morre days and you can start goin outside and stuff...:naughty:

3200 in 5th @ 75m/h
91 sl fwd manual

75 for me would be around 2500 to 2600 rpms for me. But then agian I have an ATX. Linebckr: easy boy...lol your posts make me laugh now.

75....prolly around 2500 (5spd)

75....prolly around 2500 (5spd)

keep in mind, Blink has the 5spd manual AWD transmission. so his gearing in 5th is different from the FWD 5spd in 5th, and also different from a ATX (4spd auto, in top gear at 75).

my reason is because i am still looking to buy one in the next month or so and i was woundering if there was much of a differnece between the 6th gear 94 vr-4's mainly, or the 93 or older 5 speed vr-4's, thats mostly what i am looking at but it is also nice to know what some of the sl's and n/a's are running at too...

Ahh.. makes sence.. you should have specified though... now im a fool...:frown: (no vr4)

:lol:

only notable difference in the AWD 5spd v. AWD 6spd is you might get a little better gas mileage in 6th gear.

that's basically it. ya you can argue all day about other differences and how you think they're noticeable, but i'm not gonna go there. another option to consider, if you plan on making over 500hp, the transfer case on the 6spd are stronger than those on the 5spds.

in 6th at 75mph, i'm right around 2k, if memory serves me right. I do know that 100mph is 3k...that is etched into my memory...75 isn't a speed I use much.
