My spedometer cable broke today on my 1991 N/A FC. Can anyone give me MPH per 1000 RPM for each of the Five gears? I can't afford a ticket! If worse comes to worse, I'll take just 5th. Thank you in advance for your help.

usually safe to say that 2k is the usual way to guess...
2k in 2nd = 20
2k in 3rd = 30
2k in 4th = 40
2k in 5th = 50

 

hmmm, 2k is around 32mph for me in 4th

 

NA and turbo models would differ because of different gearing right? Tire and rim size other than stock would also throw off the speedo rating.

 

N/A 205/55R15's, 4.1 rear-end, or so I think?

 

cough
replace speedo cable

What I'm really looking for is a gear chart (from Car And Driver, Road & Track, etc.) for my STOCK 91 N/A. The cable broke today. I have already ordered another cable, but I still have to drive to work through quite a few 55 down to 45 down to 35 in a 1/4 mile speed traps. A rough estimate of RPM at 60 in 5th would be great!
