Something wrong with my tranny?
« on: August 09, 2004, 04:00:01 PM »
The other day I put the stock tires back on (200 mile trip next week, don't wanna wear off the LTB's tread) and now my top speed is around 65mph |removethispart|@3500rpm... that seems really high to me. Is there something wrong here? How does the overdrive in the 5-spd manual work?

On the 3 speed Auto (1:1 final drive)
speed was 70|removethispart|@4000 on 235/75-15 Tires
Your 3500|removethispart|@65 sounds like you are in 4th
gear.  OD is just a final drive taller than
a 1:1 ratio like .89:1  or 89 hundreths of
a turn to 1 turn of the driveshaft

It's odd, because I am in fifth. :-/

It's not vaccume operated or something, is it?

I did occasionally use 5th... going down hills :o

Oh well... what are the tallest tires that a place like Walmart would sell that would fit stock wheels?

Go ahead of time and they can order you any size you want. I priced 33x12.50 MTR's there (not stock but they will oder them 4 you. For a highway radial they will have 31-32 in stock

It can handle it. I run 200 miles at 80-85mph daily. That's holding the X-90 at 4500RPM for 1 hr 15 min each way.  ;D

Enjoy 5th gear on your trip ;)

Hrm... I never drove it too much stock, and when I did that was way back in the day... if it seems about right, then I'll worry about it a little less... :-/
