Mine is right around 2250, with I think the original transmission.

Interesting, at 100km/hr mine (1995) is at 2050rpm. From cold it starts out at 2500rpm & over 15 min, as the engine comes up to operating temperature, it drops down to a steady 2050 rpm.

With the torque converter locked it should be around 2050RPM. Usually it's about 2-300 higher before lockup. This is for the 3.545 stock transmission.

That is right for the US ratio. The jdm and Euro are 3.7;1 and that gives 2250 @ 100km.

It would therefore appear that my New Zealand new 95 SVX uses the US 3.545 stock transmission.

Strange, maybe my tourque converter is not locking up properly as mine is a US car, I have no info of what was done to it before 2002 when it was imported to Canada, then no info after 2009 until I picked it up a couple of months ago.

Give the transmission at least 10 minutes of driving to reach 150°F before the TC will lock up. It will lock up only after you reach about 75-80kph.

That like 60 Mph us ? Or 65MPH

100kmh = 92.1mph, I have used 2 GPS units and 100kmh actual is 65mph indicated on my car. Also I just noticed something that I think is strange but maybe just "feature" If I control the throttle to maintain an indicated 65mph the revs are about 100 to 150rpm less then if I set the cruse at the same indicated speed

I have put 2500 miles on this SVX and loved every minute of it but still getting to know her.

SURTEESS · #13 08-04-2011, 10:18 PM

My 1995 is NZ New and it still reads 2250rpm ...

StelthSvx · #14 08-04-2011, 10:22 PM

Ummm....100kph is 62mph....lol

As per other post, 100 km ph is 62 mph. For my SVX, it doesn't matter if I use cruise or not, the revs settle at a constant 2050rpm at 100km/hr.
