KP:

Some years ago, I downloaded the transmission/gear spreadsheet from Sumner's site: http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/bvillecar/bville-spreadsheet-index.html (scroll down a little).

I use it a least a couple times a month.

We still go with Isky.  It's green, not juice required.

I found this site years ago. Very simple and you can figure every trans gear to mph. Every year I print out all my gear and tire choices

Thanks, guys. I too have an Isky model, but I fear it has scuttled into a dusty corner of the shop to breed with thase drier socks that are also missing.......sigh.......

Hey House, try this one. There's a turbo calculator that's easy to use & off to the right there is a gearing calculator that will read a 6 speed trans.
