I did put the 23 tooth speedo gear in....ECU5.0 said:probably the mileage is off unless you put a new speedo gear in there....but im not sure if that would really do it
Yeah, I actually counted the teeth on the speedo gear coz I didn't want it to be off..so I have no idea.Ambizzy said:Your odometer is off - you gotta change the speedometer gearing too =) Cheap process though (assuming you haven't done this yet from the 'increase' in mileage).

Whoops, I waited to long to reply to your first post, so this one doesn't really help much anymore!
Yeah, 95% of my driving is city/town..I still beat on it from time to timeGearbanger 101 said:It's actually possible that you might be getting slightly better mileage if you're doing a lot of it in town. Although the difference wouldn't be as dramatic going from 3.27's instead of 2.73's.
Gearbanger 101 said:Well, since you've got to a numerically lower gear. It should take a little less "omph" of the go peddal to get things moving from a stop. That combined with the fact that you're now able to run around in 5th gear on the strait aways, without bogging the engine may help you out in the mileage department. But like I said, it won't be as dramatic going from 3.27's as it would going from 2.73's.
Even after the speedo gear change, you're not going to be dead on. 3.55's are normally about as high as you're going to be able to compensate for with just a speedo gear change. Anything beyond a 3.55 ratio tends to still read a little higher and it only gets worse, the lower (numerically) you go.
lol..yeah, It'll definitely be a gas guzzler. 4.10's probably wont be an option till I make her a weekend warrior..oh well, it's all good I've just about had it with the AODGearbanger 101 said:Ah well, that's what I get for not reading your list of mods, but it's still working on the same basic principal. But....yeah....a C4 is going to kill your mileage. If you want to see how it's going to be, drive around with your AOD in 3rd for a week or two. It's the same 1:1 ratio.
