can some one explan what the gear number ratios on tranny gears mean? i heard that the ones on the v6 autos are pretty weak, and so they corralate to the rearend gear ratios? thanks for the help
Ya, i think so. What you wrote kinda didn't make sense. But if downshift, your RPMs go up because you the gear is larger. So since it's a larger gear it's radius will be larger and the outside edge spins faster reflecting in your RPMs. Your welcome for the help.oaktonarcher said:yea that also makes good sense. now im trying to fig this out. so if im going lets say 60 mph at about 2k rpms and im in 4th and for what ever reason i decided to shift in to 3rd and my rpms went up to like 4k that means i shifted to a larger gear which has a lower to speed which is reflected by the higher rpms right? thanks for all your help 97stallion
