GPS?You can figure your rpm here, http://www.scirocco.org/gears/

sadly they aren't really usable for anything but cruising 1-4 hot rod it and then slip in to fifth and sip the fuel
no Mclovin' ( LOL ) I was talking about an FN trans, and I was referring to how the .71 5th gears aren't much good for anything but cruising. ASF, AON, ACN, ACL (8v) 3.67 3.45 1.94 1.37 1.03 0.75 spins 2537 in 5th at 110kmhFN, FF, FH, FJ (from '81) 3.89 3.45 1.94 1.29 0.91 0.71 spins 2545 in 5th at 110kmhWith the slight differences in the 3-5 gears, but the different FD gearing.. these transmissions would feel pretty much identical I would think. Having slightly shorter gears, but a slightly longer FD.. They would both be nice.I think a FUN transmission would be a trans with a 4.25 w/0.71 5th or a 3.94 w/0.75 5th..Or this 4spd GY (3+E 8/82-7/84) 4.17 3.45 1.75 1.06 0.71 lol
are you sure you have correct the speedometer gear on your speedo cable
