Speed per gear
 

I guess the 5/6 speed guys will be answering this . What can you get out of each gear .. Looks like 40 something in 1st and 60 something in 2nd and 3rd is in the 100 range and I chicken out after that.

Your too OLD to be thinking speed:p Fastest I ever went in a car was 140mph in a mustang

Re: Speed per gear
 

Assuming 6500 rpm redline mine would be:

1st - 34 mph
2nd - 52
3rd - 70
4th - 92
5th - 117
6th - 147

Assuming 7500 redline:

1st - 39 mph
2nd - 60
3rd - 81
4th - 106
5th - 135
6th - 170

All theoretical, obviously. There is a good calculator for it here: http://www.f-body.org/gears/

Gear ratio/ RPM / Speed Calc:

I plugged in some #'s:

2011 legacy 6 speed manual:
1- 3.454; 2- 1.947; 3- 1.296; 4- 0.972; 5- 0.825; 6- 0.695; final- 4.111
Estimated Speed at 6500RPM:
1st - 35mph, 2nd - 62mph, 3rd - 93mph, 4th - 124mph, 5th - 146mph, 6th- 174mph

4.44 (98 legacy outback):
1- 3.03; 2- 1.62; 3- 1.00; 4- 0.69; final- 4.44
Estimated Speed at 6500RPM:
1st - 37mph, 2nd - 70mph, 3rd - 112mph, 4th - 162mph

Re: Speed per gear
 

so where would the 3:90 5 speed be 1/2 way between?

Re: Speed per gear
 

3.90 5speed (6500RPM):

1st - 3.545
2nd - 1.947
3rd - 1.366
4th - 0.972
5th - 0.780
final - 3.90

1st - 36mph
2nd - 65mph
3rd - 93mph
4th - 131mph
5th - 163mph

Re: Speed per gear
 

That's it ! ! ! Only 160 MPH I won't even be able to get airborne <LOL>
Of course this is all in theory ,, some care can't pull Red line in anything above 3rd gear.

Re: Speed per gear
 

hmm i could have sworn i get about 45 out of first gear?...mine isnt a manual though it had the trans switched back in the day when they recalled them

Re: Speed per gear
 

None of this so far has applied to the stock trans. Look up the ratios and plug them into the calculator and see.

Re: Speed per gear
 

I knew that it just seemed like offly low speeds...only 35 in 1st gear that seems low but then again im no mechanic:o

Re: Speed per gear
 

Not if there are 5 more gears to go :)

Re: Speed per gear
 

Ahhh good point :lol: didnt think about it that way

Re: Speed per gear
 

SVX Stock Tranny (6200rpm):
1st - 2.79
2nd - 1.55
3rd - 1.00
4th - 0.64
