Default what speed does 1st and 2nd gear take you up too?

Ive been having some cluster problems as ive been playing with the needle too much.

Anyways i dont remember what my 1st and 2nd limit me up too

my 1st takes me up too 40 (seems right) Redlining with a d16 non vtec

second up too about 70...70 seems a lil high.

is it my cluster acting weird or does this sounds about right??

thanks

Without knowing what motor and transmission you running, and what RPM you're shifting at. . . we can't even give you a ballpark guess on mph.

get a gps receiver from someone, and use it to see your actual speed, or use that calculator I posted and enter your information, and enter like 4000 rpm and see how many mph it says, and then go for a drive and see whats up

why did you bump?

to annoy the people trying to help you maybe?

the answer to your question comes down to 2 things, gear ratios and rpm.

so without telling people what gearbox you have or your shifting rpm people can only guess.

at least post the model of your car if you dont know what tranny you have.

I've read on here somewhere that when you pop the needle off it messes the calibration up, so I have never done it. This could be your problem.

I drive a Y7 every day, it won't do 70 mph in 2nd gear.

Sounds like the speedo needs to be calibrated.

D16a6 doesn't have VTEC. And you edited the REDLINING part way after your post
