I question the accuracy of my speedo. It seems to read fast, but i'm not sure. When I test it using the following method, it tests ok.
At 70 MPH in your 1:1 ratio gear (4th with manual or 3rd with auto) your Tachometer should read out your rearend ratio(3.42 or 3,420 RPM).
This has always worked in all my cars, so I think it may be a good test, and if it is my speedo is fine. Has anyone else heard of this? How does this test factor in the height of the tire?
