Do we actually use 5th gear of our cars

Post by GinoX »

Djadomingo pasa ma tbt den un conversashon cu e OG crew. Nan tbt tin un yoga pisa riba autonan di awendia cu ta bin fei fabrika cu 5 of te hasta 6speed. Piyo ainda e autonan di luho cu ta bin cu 5 te cu 7 speed automatic. E tempo aja bo tin autonan cu tin 4 gear y dependiendo di motor, e final drive semper ta 4.1 4.3 of 4.44 den autonan hapones. Autonan merikano tbt 3speed automatic. that's it

Ki tanto hora bo ta riba caminda cu bo tin mester usa e di 5speed ora bai un supermarket 100 meter lew fei bo cas of bo ta den un gridlock cu trafico pa jega trabow. Awendia bo ta core, dibaina bo sa usa 4th.

Un di mi brothernan a cabi overhaul un gearbox di un Tercel anto 4th y 5th tbt bling bling mane hoyas. E synchronisernan di first y second gear no tbt existi mes! Anto e tbt puntra su mes; si ta bale la pena buska un diff gear di bijv 4.89 pa utilisa e di 5speed of djies instala un gearbox 4 speed di e Corolla di antanjo cu motor 2A..... :idea:

Ja tur cos ta tepende kiko bo kier hasi cu e Auto. Si bo tin auto di famia anto bo ta core manual, ami lo bay cu 1 di 4 speed paso cu mi Supra mes mi ta husa 4 mas tanto. Ja ora no tin trafico cu ta casi nunca bo ta husa 5 speed. So yeah pa AUA gewoon core 4 speed lo ta miho. Pero si bo auto tin HP ja lo mi bay 1 gearbox cu lo por wanta, so esey kermen 1 5 speed of 6 speed ( si bo kier core drag & street) :2cents:

5 of 6 speed ja, ta autonan 'Americansis' y 'Haponesis' unda tin highway etc. Na Aruba, for di mi experiencia di core 2 pickup cu motornan cu low-end torque, mi tabata por a core den 5 of 6 speed trankil, y spaar poco fuel tambe mi ta kere, cos perfecto pa nos everyday 'sunday' drivers.

Asina mes coriendo riba highway den exterior mi ta hanja cu 5 speed ta keda net den un powerband cu e motor ta responde bon, 6 speed mi ta hanja mas pa 'cruise', mantene RPM abow of conserva fuel etc.

Pero asina mes ta depende hopi di ratios nan. (Mi dos placa)

Succes!
