|  | You'll need gear ratio for the gear you're in and the rolling diameter of your
driven tires as well.  I have the formula somewhere in a BASIC program...

Mike, this only works if you're in direct drive with a manual transmission 
or a locking torque converter, that's why I specified "driveshaft rpm" in 
my note.
If you're looking at the tach with your Turbo-hydramatic 350 or 
Turbo-hydramatic 400 trans, you're way off the mark due to torque converter 
losses.

| 565.29 | gear ratio adjustment | STARCH::HAGERMAN | Flames to /dev/null | Thu Jan 30 1997 14:24 | 11 | 
|  |     Most front-wheel-drive cars don't have a direct ratio anyway--they're
    all indirect and top gear is an overdrive ratio. Traditional
    three- and four-speeds usually have top gear as direct, but five-speeds
    may have 4th as direct and 5th as an overdrive. You can often find
    out the ratios in the sales brochures.
    
    If top gear is 0.9:1 (an overdrive ratio), then the speed from
    the formulas will be higher. To find out how much higher, divide
    the answer you got by 0.9.
    
    If top gear is 1.1:1 (a reduction ratio), divide by 1.1.
