OK. Found some auto gearing numbers that look to be right for what I know my RPMs to be at 80mph. The manual ratio I am not sure is correct for the 190E transmission. I found the gearing for the 300E 5 Spd, from the "Ritter Bible".

My 300E should have this gearing right now:

1st - 3.87
2nd - 2.24
3rd - 1.44
4th - 1

The 300E 5 Speed from Bible:

1st - 3.856
2nd - 2.183
3rd - 1.376
4th - 1
5th - 0.799

That's pretty damn close to what I have now for 1-3. If the 190E box is the same....my calculator tells me at 80mph in 5th gear, I'd be going 2500rpm. Sign me up now if that's the case.
