« on: June 26, 2010, 03:31:31 PM »
so i took my zuk sammy for a drive to work today never driven it on the open road really so as i was driving i shifted to 5th gear i noticed that the engine was reving high at least it seemed that way as far as i know i don't have an issue with the clutch slipping don't have a tac in it so my Q is normal for the zuk to rev high and if so what is normal rpm on 5th gear.also i have a set of 215r75x15 on it. confused

Same size tires on my sam.  5th gear, 65 mph I am at about 3500 rpm ( I forget the exact rpm, since my speedo cable is now broken....but I remember it was around 3500).

Ya gotta keep the rpms up on these small engines.  Dont be afraid to wind em up.

I run all day on the interstate at 4000 RPM in fifth at 65 MPH (GPS verified)  with 30" tires and 4.625 R&Ps.  Eeverything else in the drivetrain is stock.
