RPM range !
What RPM should my Corvette be at when traveling at 65 MPH while in overdrive ? I have the automatic transmission. My car is currently hitting 2400-2600 in overdrive at 65 MPH. I have a feeling that there is a problem with my TV cable but I am not sure if my transmission is reaching that final overdrive gear.

choose the 1993-97 a4 f-body, plug in your rear gear ratio and tire size and you will see where your tach should be showing.

When you are driving a steady 65 what does the tach do when you move the shifter from OD to D?

with that combo and knowing that drive is 1to1 ratio at 65 in drive should be 2600rpm.
i belive overdrive is like .8to1 ratio so 2000-2100rpm and lockup will cut that down about 200 rpm or so ... hmm or is od .7, cant remember atm but .1 wouldnt be much diff anyhow.
seems gerardvg is pretty close
