Quote: Looks like a great source of info. Can anyone chime in as to the accuracy of the information from Infintihelp? Looks good to me but there are those here that are more familiar with the FD ratios among years than I

Most of that info looks accurate.

FOR 2003-2006 model years

6MT = all have 3.5 FD from factory.

X = 3.5 FD from factory for all years

5AT Sedans = 3.3 FD from factory

5AT Coupes = 3.3 FD (2003-2004), 3.5 FD (2005-2006)

(I'm not 100% certain on 2005-2006 5AT coupes, but this is my findings/belief based off local friends vehicles)

My 2005 5AT coupe had the 3.3 FD, no VLSD. Also did not have a sports package.

The AT had taller gears than the MT. Not until 5th did the mt gears get as tall as the AT. So we get screwed twice!

^That's because 6th in the MT is a taller gear than 5th in the AT. That makes up for the shorter gear in the rear-end.

Yes.


The only part I'm not sure about is whether or not 5AT coupes have 3.5 FD. My friends 2006 runs at 3200-3250 rpms (pretty sure he's got 3.5) and he is bone stock.

70 MPH huh? hrmm

Maybe your staggered wheel setup changes things from my sedan.

3.69 gears are about 10% increase over stock. Stock limit is 90 MPH, and at 10% over stock it seems like it should work up to 81.8 MPH for the variance if my calculations were correct.

How do you like the 3.7s?
