Speed through the gears

[Rikki Kitto]

Any got these figures, just wondered because I recently had 100 mph in third and wondered if this is good / bad or normal

[Rusty]

1st is about 40 indicated, 2nd 72, 3rd 102, 4th 130. That's with about 7400 redline. Actual is a little lower but north much.

That ties in well with my GPS measurements

Is the DSY (Audi B5 S4) not longer gearing in 3rd & 4th as I remember doing some tests in one and 3rd was over 100 actual.

I just rechecked the DSY gear ratios 1 through 6. Looks like 5th should be 0.857 not 0.81 (0.81 might be for the NAmerican EDU) but all the other ratios are correct.

[Rusty]

That's more like it.

[UrS4boy]

That's more like it.

Like what? That chart doesn't specify which B5 S4 01E transmission. There were two.
