Topic starter

the gear ratio of the 4th gear of the manual transmission is 0.971 : 1

is this an overdrive gear?

gear ratios of the other gears:

1st gear: 3.545 : 1

2nd gear: 2.048 : 1

3rd gear: 1.346 : 1

4th gear: 0.971 : 1

5th gear: 0.763 : 1

reverse gear: 3.333 : 1

btw the torque of the engine shall be around 190 N·M and no more than 195 N·M

No, 4th gear is 1:1 for all practical purposes.  5th gear is the overdrive.

I always thought 4th was 1:1. 


0.971 : 1 is pretty dang close to 1:1
