For the curious, the ratios for the Volvo I6 manual gearbox are: 1st-3.14:1, 2nd-1.97:1, 3rd-1.34:1, 4th-1.00:1. Rear axle ratio 3.2:1 Using Pat's formulas: Miles Per Hour= tire radius x RPM / 168 x gear ratio ; RPM= MPH x 168 x gear ratio / tire radius ; Gear ratio= tire radius x RPM / 168 x MPH you can figure out what you need. Hope this helps. Regards, Don Lattimer #3m5759
