A quick speed table for those with 4.44s
Just so you know, a bit of research has yeilded the following numbers for 4.44's
When your car says________________________You are actually going. 10mph -------------------------------------------------9 mph 20mph-----------------------------------------------18.2mph 30mph-----------------------------------------------27.3mph 40mph-----------------------------------------------36.4mph 50mph-----------------------------------------------45.5mph 60mph-----------------------------------------------54.6mph 70mph-----------------------------------------------63.7mph 80mph-----------------------------------------------72.8mph 90mph-----------------------------------------------82.9mph 100mph------------------------------------------------91mph 110mph---------------------------------------------100.1mph This assumes you got your tranny out of an outback. In other words, you are travelling 91% the speed indicated, or 9% slow Please update your brain accordingly. -Patrick

What would be the difference if you have a stock 4EAT with a 4.44?

No idea, depends where your diff came from. If it came from an outback, probably exactly as the table above. The speed sensor essentially reads axle speed, but the speed is calculated based on a taller (outback) tire. Since ours is not so tall, we get a speed discrepancy.

Hmm...well when YT did it, he swapped the SVX speed sensor in, is that table based on an Outback trans with the Outback speed sensor? Or SVX Sensor?

I am also running the SVX speed sensor, but the gears are a different diameter, and so rotates faster in the diff, which throws off speed, regardless of the sensor.

Ooooo...good to know. Now I don't have to worry about going just over the speed limit anywhere

I use my GPS to see what speed I'm travelling at, and my speedo generally reads roughly 3 mph faster than the actual speed.

Just so everyone knows, I figured these out on paper, then took a stopwatch and my car out on the freeway to verify, these numbers are solid.

So, if you run larger diameter wheels and tires you could negate the error caused by the 4.44s. It takes a bit of math, but if you persist you should arrive at a combination that makes the speedo spot on. A case where you add a new problem in order to solve both!

Am I missing something here?
I thought it was off by 5.5%. The way I see it is that the speedometer reads only axle rotations. So if the speedometer is reading axle rotations, and the transmission "expects" a 205/70/15, but actually gets a 225/50/16, a slightly shorter tire the speedometer should read a little high, (5.5%) as the SVX is not travelling as far as it would, if it had the expected (taller) tires on it.

Hmm... even with the values I entered, it still doesn't explain for the inaccuracy.
Something else is afoot here, gentlemen. I my odometer reads precisely 1.09 miles per 1 mile. No matter what, no matter what mile marker. Or one minute, 6 seconds per mile on the stopwatch, when the speedo shows precisely 60 mph no matter what. Possible causes anyone? Only started happening after the 4.44s were installed. -Patrick
