Question about automatic overdrive 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Charles on  Tue May 24 17:00 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response.

"The rear end gear ratio of an automatic is higher (lower numericaly) than the stick cars so the rpm/mph ratio is quite low."

With my normally aspirated cars and an M46/M47, the engine turns 2400 rpm at 65mph in overdrive/fifth, and just a little over 3,000 rpm in 4th gear. What would are comparable speeds for overdrive and 3rd with the AW-70?
