I have owned this car a few years, it is a nice little car I enjoy driving almost daily. The couple I bought it from were unable or unwilling to tell me much. What I saw is what I got. Having tended to the more stinky stuff I am touching details.
A GPS has been the speedometer since learning its off by more than 20%. As I dug into getting the correct gear for the transmission I found a few things that don't smell right.
First is the door tag's notation, the axle code is 2. The documentation I find has a 1, 3 thru 9. No 2. What the heck??
Secondly, to rough guess it I lifted one wheel, marked it and the driveshaft and rotate the wheel one complete revolution. Once around on the wheel, slightly less than 1.5 revolutions of the drive shaft. I am guessing 1.4 to be more accurate.
This car gets nearly 30 mpg cruising at 65. Out of the hole it's like a 90 year old with sticky tennis balls on his walker.
I will take the cover off the rear end and count the teeth but geeze Louise, this is at least odd isn't it?
