What is the normal operating rpm in 5th gear at 60 mph? Because in my 90' automatic it's just over 2500rpm, in my 92' 5 speed it at almost 3000rpm.

auto's have numerically lower gear ratio.........due to the torque converter in an automatic transmission,it allows the engine to turn more freely when accelerating from a standstill.when the converter locks in overdrive,you see the difference in final drive RPM's
