Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Tannny and RPM ?'s

    I've purchased a 93 Ex coupe with an auto tranny. I've been driving a Dodge Dakota. I've noticed that the shifts from gear to gear in the Accord are relatively hard shifts whereas in the Dodge the shifts are pretty seamless. Is this standard? Both are 4 spds.

    Also, @ 60 mph I'm turning about 2800 rpm. This struck me as a little high, based off of the Dodge's 1700). The warmed up idle is about 850-900. Help educate me, new to the Honda scene.

    Thanks.

    At 70 my 93 Wagon EX hits right at 3K RPM with the torque converter locked. That may be your problem. Are you driving for a while and it's still doing this?

      Thats normal and yes hard shifts are normal for our year cars. Comparing the rpm from an accord to the ram is way different. You have gearing and all that to consider.

        don't think you could compare a utility truck to a family sedan the gearing is different.

          Maybe I should have clarified....the WAY it shifts is different. I know the gearing is different, but didnt realize that it would run so high.

          ASLEEPZ: Yeah, I drive about 22 milies one way to work, with 18 of that being on a 4-lane. It stays at 2800 or so all the way there at 60 mph. If its natural, thats fine. If its not, I don't wanna be stuck fixing a tranny problem after the fact.

          Thanks
