    Default Gear ratios

    Hey i was wondering if anyone knew the gear ratios of a 5sp vn gearbox and the final drive. Just found a site that i wana try, to find out what the top speed is in all the gears. http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti/tyres.html

    Ah FXST01 beat me to it...
    The final drive is your diff ratio... so that would be 3.08:1 unless you have had the diff gears changed.

    By the way that sites interesting...Good find. The top speed is obviously incorrect because an auto VN will not do 307km/h.... I personally dont think a car would continue gaining speed in top gear when it exceeds max power.
    However top speed for first gear is given as 69km/h (65km/h manual) which is pretty accurate. 2nd gear looks reasonable as well...
