Not using first gear


Assuming that your trans has never been apart you should be able to get the ratios from the id stamp. It is located on the passenger side of the trans about 5 o'clock (standing at rear facing forward towards the engine). You will have to look up behind the frog leg to see it. Here is a page with the codes:http://www.midsouthvw.com/TechTips/t...nsaxleCode.htm There are other sites that will give you the original 1,2,3,4 ratios also. Then you can go to Rancho's site:http://ranchotransaxles.com/calculator.html and calculate your theoretical top speed.


Mmmmm math.... oops I mean mmmmm mph..

So you not gonna play and figure up yours?
Thought it would be fun to see what the theoretical top speed is.

Live in a helmet state.

Ps.
It has been down the road at a healthy clip before. But being old my sense of self preservation kicked it when I past 120 or so. I will never see theoretical top speed. To top that off my buddy with the vrod Hardley sold his bike to buy a big riding mower. He was the one of the group that always wanted to run 100+ down the highway.

LOL, I guess I should get the numbers off the transaxle and check that out.
