rear end ratio question
I have a 2000 coupe mn6. I bought the car used last year, just trying to figure out what axle I have. In 6th gear at 67mph the tach is at 1500rpm, can anyone charm in please. Thanks in advance.

Probably a 3.15 gear... but to be sure there is a gear ratio / part # tag on the backside of the rear end... upper right hand corner as viewed from the rear.

Re: rear end ratio question (nosturbo)
My 3.90 is about 1650 @ 65 MPH. Prorating down to 1500 gives about 3.15 as Bill Reid said. Puzzling to me :confused: if it started at 3.42 stock why would anyone change to 3.15?
I doubt if it was a A4 converted to MN6?
I dunno!

with 3.42's i always rememeber being at about 1100 rpm goin 50 mph in 6th gear, (basically just as slow as your engine can safley spin. But every c5 6 speed comes stock with 3.42's no other choices :cheers:

Re: rear end ratio question (Mike Mercury)
Depends on tire size too or if PCM calibrated for different tire size than what you have and therefore affecting the speed indication. :confused:
