speeds in gears
Gordy Hyde asked:
Would someone post equivalent speeds/revs/gears for me to help analyze
if there is a problem? TIA
Gordy, for my 82 Spider, I calculated the following:
1st gear ..... 5.27 MPH/1000 RPM
2nd " ..... 8.73 " " "
3rd 12.73
4th 17.46
5th 22.0
This was for stock 14 x 6 wheels with 185-70 tires (851 revs per mile)
So, 70 mph = 3182 rpm in 5th
4009 " " 4th
5499 " " 3rd
& over 8000 in 2nd!
FYI: gear ratios in gears:
1st ..... 3.32
2nd ..... 1.99
3rd ..... 1.35
4th ..... 1.00
5th ..... 0.79
Final drive ratio ..... 4.10
