Methinks N/A engined cars have 3.69:1 ratios.


And, I can state without a doubt, the speedo drive gearing differs between the manual and automatic transmissions. I don't know about all manual transmissions but, the speedo outputs on the old cast iron 4-speed I had and, the Getrag 5-speed that's in the car now are both the same.
