Hey all, I have an 09 xb2 *cough auto cough*...and was just wondering what kind of rpm's you 5 speed guys were churning out at around highway speed (80 mph)? I was just curious if the auto basically skips the 5 speed's 4th gear as far as ratio's go, or if the autos 4th was much smaller than 5th gear.

Around 80 mph my xb is at *about* 3k rpm's.

Also, is there any way to get the "sport" shifter to shift quicker besides tearing the trans apart?

 

3500 rpms @ 80 mph in 5th gear.

 

Sounds right.

 

5-speed manual gear ratios:
1 = 3.54
2 = 2.05
3 = 1.33
4 = 0.97
5 = 0.73
reverse = 3.58
axle ratio = 4.24

4-speed auto gear ratios:
1 = 3.94
2 = 2.20
3 = 1.41
4 = 1.02
reverse = 3.15
axle ratio = 2.74

 

Thanks guys :D
