Gear ratios?
What are the gear ratios and rear end on a 91 convertible RX7 (manual transmission) and on a 88 Anniversary turbo RX7 (manual transmission). I had thought the rear end on the vert was 4.1, but I recently read somewhere that they went back to a 3.9 for 1991. What is correct?
thanks,
Kris

The 88 brochure lists a 3.909 for all convertibles of that year. The 89 FSM lists a 4.1 for all convertibles of that year. I don't have any stats on the 91 models. Since a previous owner could have installed just about anything, I guess the best way to find out is to take the rear end apart, and count the teeth on the gears. You could also calculate the speed with different rear end ratios, and then see which is closest to your actual speed at a given rpm and gear.

And I also have notes that say (and confirm) that the 5 speed manual vert's got a .711 5th gear, not the .697 that the coupes got.
