Cameron02 Member 164 Member For: 12y 5m 11d Posted 12/12/12 01:28 PM Share Posted 12/12/12 01:28 PM Hi all,Just purchased a BA xr6t 5 speed today.Driving it home on the freeway I notice that in 4th gear the rpm is just under 3000. In 5th it dropped to a little over 2000.Is this normal? Or has the diff ratio been moddified? Is the standard ratio 3.45I have tried searching the forum but I cant find the gear ratios for the 5 speed, can anybody point me in the right direction.RegardsCameron02 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83193-gear-and-diff-ratios/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
