Thread: For those who replaced 4th gear MPG increase?

I get 20-22 in the city, and 26-32 highway depending on speed,hills,wind,cruisecontrol,traffic. I dont quit understand when you say "replaced 4th gear" as in replaced with what? I always use OD except in heavy traffic at speeds below say 50, I like to keep the RPM up a little for quick burst of excell, never know when you need it.

You can't change individual gears in the transmission to a higher gear ratio. But to answer your question if you have a GTP already then you already have the highest gear ratio possible as far as MPG's go or crusing RPM's rather..

Sorry I guess I should of made it a little clearer my 4th gear clutch is out and I am debating on wheather or not to fix it or just get rid of the car. If it will improve the gas mileage enough I will keep it.

just fix it yourself if you can, its not THAT hard. On both my 16 hr straight drive trips i got 31 mpg straight.

Oh this definitely something I'm going to go myself. I would be happy getting 25-26 mpg as an average. What are you guys getting out of a full tank

on the trip i was gettin around 430 miles to the tank at 75-80 mph

I would love to see 300 out of one tank

expect more, seriously.
