Is a higher gear ratio better for acceleration?
A lower (taller) gear ratio provides a higher top speed, and a higher (shorter) gear ratio provides faster acceleration. . Besides the gears in the transmission, there is also a gear in the rear differential.
What’s the difference between Top Gear 5 and 6 speed?
the top gear (5th or 6th) will have the same gear ratio. The differnce is there are more gears in the 6th speed. This allows them to be a little closer together.
What’s the difference between a 5 speed and a 6 speed?
the top gear (5th or 6th) will have the same gear ratio. The differnce is there are more gears in the 6th speed. This allows them to be a little closer together. I drive a 6 speed.
Can a 5 speed gearbox be used in a 6 speed Van?
Anyways, in the adaptations nothing obvious there. Probably makes sense also to compare module 17-Instruments software versions (below H03 1107) and codings of a van with 5-speed gearbox and a van with 6-speed. Click to expand… Yep, good idea.
Can you change 5th speed to 4th speed?
Changing 5th to 4th is to much of a drop. Any answers on this one yet. ? Would deffo be something i would do a few years down the line It’s something I would do one day. But I would like to know the ratios first. I want a taller top gear and less of a rev drop between the 2 top gears. Mine is sound and fuel economy. 5th just doesnt seem enough.
What’s the best 5 speed gear ratio change?
I’m lookin at changing either the transmission pulley or rear wheel pulley on 2002 FLHRI 5 speed to run at lower RPMs at highway speed. I’d like to be doing about 2500 to 2600 RPMs rather than almost 3000 PRM at 70 mph. Stock tranny pulley is 32 tooth and rear wheel pulley is 70. (I think that’s right.)

What’s the best gear ratio for a Harley?
1. You will never get 2500-2600 rpms by changing the secondary drive ratio to 34/70 or 32/68; the best you can do is about 2850. The ony way you get to 2600 rpms at a decent cruising speed is with a six speed. 2.
When to use 6th or 7th gears in a car?
Sometimes 6th (or 7th) is used as an overdrive so that the previous gears can be narrower to allow increased acceleration (and thus performance) in the lower gears, but still be able to obtain motorway speeds whilst achieving double digit economy figures. Click to expand…
