Hello Frank: I put together the attached spreadsheet that calculates speed at any given rpm for each gear for both the standard and HVDA gearboxes. I used some inputs from my car (e.g., 3.7 rear axle ratio and my 165R15 tires). You can alter the spreadsheet if your car is set up differently. I know that the spreadsheet won’t make it through to the list, but if anyone wants it, just send me an e-mail. For a TR3A with a stock gearbox, 3.7 rear end, and 165R15 tires, 4500 rpm in 4th gear would yield 91.4 mph. 5000 rpm would yield 101.5 mph. At 75 mph the engine should have been turning over at just under 3700 rpm. Regards, Dave MacKayTR3A s/n 68639LNear Toronto, Canada
