In order to calculate the engine RPM based on ring gear and pinion gear ratio, speed and tire height, this calculator makes the following assumptions:
- You may not be sure of the type of transmission you are currently using. The results will then be:
- Automatic transmission in drive
- Automatic transmission in overdrive
- 3 speed (manual transmission) in last (3rd) gear
- 5 speed or higher manual transmission in last gear
- The ratios used for the transmissions are 0.70 for the automatic and 0.80 for the manual
- You know the ring gear and pinion gear ratio; see the Gear Ratio Calculator to determine your ratio
- You know the tire height in inches; see the Tire Height Calculator to determine your tire height
- The speed will be the vehicle speed, measured in miles per hour (MPH)
