Gear ratios G1 5 speed vs G2 6 speed

Eric F · 05-31-03, 01:33 PM

Does anyone know what the gear ratios are for a G1 5 speed and for a G2 6 speed coupe? Particularly 3rd gear.
I would think the G1 is geared lower because I pulled on my brother-in-law's 6 speed from a roll when we were both in 3rd gear.
We tried a few other things too, but we can't discuss that here

I will say we were both quite surprised.

So mine is geared a little lower but not much.

We'll just say I won and leave it at that.
He has 17's on though, but also has intake and exhaust.
