Well,
#1 thanks for all the responses, phone and e-mail.
Obviously (and I mean obvoiusly!)I'm not the first to do this. One thing all
the gear calculators confirmed; The formula is correct.
I can now calculate speeds and shiftpoints to my hearts content

Mike M.


mph = rpm x tire diameter / differential gear ratio x 336/transmission gear
ratio

20.556 = 4000 X 27.106 / 4.22 X 336/3.72<- First Gear
34.758 = 4000 X 27.106 / 4.22 X 336/2.2<- Second Gear
50.979 = 4000 X 27.106 / 4.22 X 336/1.5<- Third Gear
76.468 = 4000 X 27.106 / 4.22 X 336/1.0<- Fourth Gear
96.795 = 4000 X 27.106 / 4.22 X 336/0.79<- Fifth Gear
