Is anybody else's GT geared extrememly low like mine? Im usually shifted into 4th gear before 50 mph, and i was just wondering if this is normal, of maybe if it has something to do with the fact that mine is rebuilt and maybe the previous owner didnt do something right with the motor re-install. Until i find out what the deal is with this, ill just use the excuse "its set up for drag racing"
 if this is normal, what can i do for better top end? --------------------  Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |

QUOTE(nitrate @ Jun 26, 2006 - 10:51 PM) [snapback]449145[/snapback] According to the manual for my GT ( 3S-GE ) 2nd gear is good for 62MPH, 3rd up to 95MPH and 4th up to 124MPH, it doesn't give a limit for 5th gear. Personally i ride 4th up to about 90 MPH if i'm really pushin it but i'd never go as far as the manual says is safe. On a lazy day i would change into 4th at around 30MPH and be in 4th for 40MPH. Its your car, your fuel and your engine. You decide whats best. Leigh.P Can confirm this. Usually go easy up to 3,5k at every gear but also topped them out. Altough the top speed of my gears is lower now since I have to shift at 6500 rpm with the 3S-GTE. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
