Had a question regarding RPM's on the trannies.
My wagon of course has the auto tranny, in which I hope soon to convert to a manual. I notice that on the highway going about 70mph, RPM's hang around 2600 RPM's. Is that considered about normal for the auto tranny?
I was also wondering with a manual, what are the typical RPM readings with say, in 6th gear going about the same speed? I do know that lower RPM's do help on fuel economy so most likely when I get to do the swap my MPG should increase. I am not an aggressive driver so I should do pretty well.
When I move to the Houston area in just over a week, I hope to find someone in the area that can do the auto to manual swap as soon as I can get the kit.
