3k rpms is between 55-60 mph. i know this ebcause i have all the rpm-mph relationships memorized because i do not have a speedo. when i replaced the first one i broke i went out and made a mental note of the rpms that equal all of the mahor speed limits.
examples :
1st gear @ 4000rpm = 15mph
2nd gear @ 2000rpm = 25mph
4th gear @ 3700rpm = 40mph
5th gear @ 3200rpm = 65mph
5th gear @ 3500rpm = 70mph
5th gear @ 3900rpm = 77mph
5th gear @ 4100rpm = 80mph
5th gear @ 7200rpm = youll just call bs so forget it!Serenity's Dead.

Once said 7 seconds he'd clock.
So his engine he goosed
With much too much boost,
And drove a rod through his block.

Mine'll hit about 120 in fourth... then fall on its face in 5th
I replaced the speedo cable in my Pro a couple days after I bought it... Rader Mazda (stealership) wanted $65 for it... I got it from the local junkyard for $20 and hooked it up in the parking lot For those that don't know... you can connect/disconnect the speedo cable from the gauge cluster without removing the gauge cluster, just reach your hand (or girlfriends if you have big hands) up behind the dash and yank it off._________________________________
