Ever since I started tuning my machine I have paid more attention to the sound of my engine, how my car performs and handles, and what kind of power I get.
I have noticed that in first gear I get all RPM but very low power! It seems it's not until third or fourth gear that my acceleration seems to match my RPMs.
I'm assuming it has something to do w/my gear ratio. I'm guessing that this is just the way the car was made.
My question(s):
1. Am I correct in calling this the "gear ratio?"
2. Is it possible to adjust the factory clutch/transmission to adjust this gear ratio?
3. Or, will I have to replace it with a clutch or tranny that's geared differently?
All input appreciated!
