.681 5th Gear |

What: .681 5th Gear Why: This gear brings about 11% drop in RPMs in 5th gear. To put that in perspective, at 80 mph a stock 5th gear will be running about 3000 rpm. With the .681 installed, RPMs are about 2300 at 80 mph. This makes for a quieter ride, more top end and improved fuel effeciency. What I would do differently: I noticed that recently, a .658 5th gear became available. If I was doing it now, I would install one of these. Switching up to the .681 from stock takes a bit of getting use to, since you can't shift into 5th as early as stock or the engine lugs pretty bad. The .658 would make this even more of a problem... but ahh the sound of 2000 rpm at 80mph. Where: |
