will putting an automatic 3rd members in a stick give me better mpg? o yea and the spedo gear???? plez say yes!!!!!!!

[cmays03]

yes if you go with the auto gears you will gain mpg's. since you have the 5.13 gears now and you will be going to 4.10 gears. I dont think you have to change the speedo gear.

are you sure about the speedo thing cause i thought you had to change it cause it goes with the gears.

I have always been told that automatics have 4.62 gears and 5spd has 5.13's. Can someone confirm the 4.10 or 4.62 for the automatics? -Ed

Autos are 4.62s. Changing gears is more likely to cost you mpg as you will need to use more throttle to achive the same acceleration. It'll be a dog up hills too.

that bad though, on the highway im pullin 3-4k at 65 i would like it down to 2-3k if i could

These aren't V8s though, its a culture thing as much as anything else. Here in Europe thats normal rpm. The Zuk engine needs a few rpm, at 2000-3000rpm you will have the throttle flat on the floor on any kind of incline and your mpg will suck. I've run a stock Vit (first gen Track/Kick) on 33s and, trust me, overgearing is the worst thing that you can do. 3500rpm is around the point where the engine makes maximum torque and is at its most efficient.
