learn.whatIsHeading

Calculates transmission gear ratios affecting acceleration, engine RPM, and fuel economy at cruising speed.

Przewodnik krok po kroku

  1. 1Calculate RPM at given speed: (speed × 5280 × 60) ÷ (wheel circumference × 12 × 3.14159 × ratio)
  2. 2Final drive ratio multiplied by transmission ratio
  3. 3Higher ratio = more torque multiplication, lower speed capability
  4. 4Overdrive ratios <1.0 for efficiency

Rozwiązane przykłady

Wejście
Final drive 3.55:1
Wynik
Rpm multiplier

Częste błędy do unikania

  • Assuming higher gear count always better (depends on driving)
  • Not considering RPM at highway speed (affects efficiency/noise)

Często zadawane pytania

Why do some cars have more gears?

More gears allow optimization of acceleration and cruising; modern 8-10 speed improves efficiency 5-10%.

What's the difference between 3.55 and 4.10 rear diff?

4.10 accelerates faster but cruises at higher RPM and lower MPG; 3.55 is efficiency oriented.
