Im not sure where you got the info for the cobalts ratios, but they're the same as the RedLine. The only drivetrain difference is the cobalts tranny isn't a getrag.Vita said:just found out the gear ratios for the cobalt
1st - 4.05
2nd - 2.02
3rd - 1.35
4th - .98
5th - .69
final drive - 3.94
as opposed to the ion RL's
1st - 3.38
2nd - 1.76
3rd - 1.18
4th - .89
5th - .7
final drive - 4.05
now i don't know how much this affects things, but it seems to me like it would be ideal to swap second, third, and fourth. can anyone enlighten me on the subject??? what exactly is final drive, is that what it is when you're in 5th?
how hard is it going to be to get this transmission from GM?
here is the srt-4 gear ratios, which seem to make it very quick...
1st - 3.647
2nd - 2.045
3rd - 1.367
4th - .947
5th - .756
final drive - 3.526
chevy has been saying that they will be different for the last year, so I dunnoRedLined said:Im not sure where you got the info for the cobalts ratios, but they're the same as the RedLine. The only drivetrain difference is the cobalts tranny isn't a getrag.
the cobalt tranny IS going to be a getrag, the RL has the F35 from the SAABs, and i found the gear ratios somewhere on the netRedLined said:Im not sure where you got the info for the cobalts ratios, but they're the same as the RedLine.
