Hey guys, I searched this a tad and can't find any direct answers. I Just bought this 97 eclipse manual and need to know a few things. It seems like im at a higher RPM than I should be in all gears.
In 5th gear @ 65-70mph im at 3k, does this sound right? And in 4th gear at the same speed im at about 2500-3000.
I remember in my automatic I could go almost 80mph without touching 3k, obviously autos are different than manuals. But shouldn't they be geared relatively the same?
I also noticed that the transmission is painted...so it's rebuilt/replaced/worked on wahtever. The dealer wasnt sure. Shady I know but it shifts perfectly. Could someone have installed some weird gearing it before me on purpose or accident?
So the question is, what are ya'lls speeds on relatively stock manuals
