[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 752540, member: 58988"] Remember, I noted that accuracy is not of concern. As Dan notes, we are thinking the same, but expressing our thoughts differently. Translated means changing the ratio from lower to higher, results in a difference between the engine RPM and [u]displayed[/u] speed, and that difference, in this case, is that for at a given [u]displayed[/u] speed, the RPMs will be higher than before the change. [i]Conversely, for a given RPM, the [u]displayed[/u] speed will be lower than before the change.[/i] It's the same relationship expressed differently. I am not implying that the speedometer is accurate or inaccurate, only that the [i]relationship[/i] between the engine speed (RPM) and the displayed speed is changed when the differential ratio is changed [i]and the VSS is at the differential[/i]. It depends on whether the focus is on keeping the engine RPM or displayed speed constant and then checking the other (if one is viewed as not changing, then other changes). [/QUOTE]
