I am about to change the gears on my car ang i was wondering what is the best gear ratio for a auto transmision and do you know where do i can get the speedo gear that matches the gears on my rear end
AFAIK, to correct the speedo you need an electronic converter. Since the tranny is computerized, I don't think you can just put a different tooth pinion on your speedo cable.
And I'm going to put 3.73s on my 5-speed. I think that will wake the car up without killing your mileage. IMHO, you don't need 4.10s unless you go to the track regularly.
We have had 4.10's on my wife's 04 V6 automatic for two years now. It's a daily driver and has been on two 2000+ mile road trips, and gas mileage dropped maybe 1-2 mpg. Well worth it for waking up the car in our opinions.
On a pre-98 model I think Alex is correct in needing a speedo gear for his transmission.
My car is a 96 V6 convertible with automatic transmision
i was told that they came with diferent gear ratio from the 5spd
so the upgrade depends ons the gears that have now on my car
I have my eye on a set of 3.45's from richmond gear
cause i think that are much better than the 2.73's that i have
plus since is my daily driver and i do drive it a lot
i dont wanna go to wild
And if so there are much better than the stock 2.73’s
and another question what other cars have 7.5 rear ends and with what gear ratios splines they come with
i've heard that the Mustang, Fairmont, Thunderbird, Mercury Capri, Cougar, Zephyr, Ranger Pickup, and Bronco II come with 7.5 but i'm not sure og the gears that they have
I've also heard that bronco II came with factory t-lock
cause i have a friend that works in a junk yard and he can give a very cheap price on the center section of the diff
they dont make 3.45's for the 7.5 rear, unless its a recent thing. get either 3.73's or 4.10's. and to correct the speedo you need either a speedo gear or a speedcal from dallas mustang.
i was planin to get the center section of a use rear end cause i got a friend that works in a junk yard so pretty much i need to know wich car have the 7.5 rear end and what gear ratio do they have and in the 2006 frpp they have 3.45's
