What size tires are you using? Except for torque converter slip, your speed should be real close to the 4-speed. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Fox Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 1:15 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: AT speeds/rpm's using a gps i determined that my 2.1L runs at about 66 mph at 4,000 RPM. I would like to be able to go faster since the speed limits on the interstates near me are 75 mph? what speed does the Manual 4 speed 2.1L do at 4,000 rpm? Anyone ever heard of switching from AT to manual? Can bigger gears be installed in the AT to give a higher ground speed? Thanks, Andrew Fox 86 Westy 2.1L |
