January 10, 200620 yr comment_95180 hey guys well i have a sneaking suspicion that the last bloke who put the 5 speed into my ke30 didn't change the diff over - the car was an auto previously. The car rev's at about 3,500 at 100 clicks in 5th, with 195/50 15" rims on it. Could i be right assuming it has the 4.3:1 auto ratio? If it does, i might hunt down a 4.1:1 borg warner diff to replace it. It just revs too high for my liking, and is freakin loud. Cheers, Dyzza Report

I know its a FWD, what ratio would that be ? 3.9:1 ? It just seems like a huge difference in RPM going from 3.9 in the laser to 4.1 in the rolla - and gaining ~550 RPM. The gearbox may even be a different ratio as well ... Cheers dude! Report
