VW Beetle - What speed can you do in 1st gear? 50 KMH
My 1600 single port engine can do 32 MPH or 50 KMH
55 MPH in 2nd gear.. which is approx 89 KMH..
Well, thats what a manual says of the 1500cc beetle with a semi automatic gearbox...
Naturally I haven't tried it...
as I like My engine... too much .. lol

Apologies
that was Drive 1 NOT LOW gear.....
LOW gear is 32 MPH or 50 kMH at 4000 RPM..
the 3 gears are called: LOW ; Drive 1 & Drive 2
Low Gear Ratio : 4-43 to 2.06
Drive One Ratio: 2.71 to 1.26
Drive Two Ratio : 1.91 to 0.89 [Overdrive]
added:
Differential gear ratio: 3.75 to 1 same as manuals
1600 autos had the 4.125 to 1 diff
1600 manuals had 3.88 or 3.875 to 1 ratio..
I have books quoting both these ratios..

2.06
1.26
0.89
Are the same ratios as a stock manual tranny for
2nd
3rd
4th.
The ones I have seen had a 4.375 diff too.
In the USA I heard they came with a 2.25 first ratio.
With 24.5" tyre that equates to the following rpm:
32mph=3955 rpm
55mph=4158 rpm
4000rpm=74.91mph

Maximum revs is supposted to be 4000 rpm
I've never tried to beat that...
another graph shows 35 mph 58 mph and 82 mph
and shows the Turbine speed - revs a minute
[torque converter]
Interesting
the later Autosticks 1600tp had 2.25 Low gear
and a final drive of 4.125 to 1..
