top gear rpm at 60 mph with this combo...
Hey guys, I was wondering at what speed my engine would be turning at 60 mph in 5th gear with a T5 tranny with a .73 overdrive gear with a 3.42 rear end. Would that combo still result in a car that will get reasonable mileage on the highway? That's what I'm thinking of using to replace the 700r4/2.73s my car has now.

Re: top gear rpm at 60 mph with this combo...
Ended up doing this a long time ago when I wasn't sure that I either had or could get the right speedo gear... For a T-5 having a .76 5th gear, I run around 2036 RPM@60. Should be around 1950-2000 for you.
