01 vs 02 Gearing?
My wifes 01 Auto turns an indicated 2900rpm at steady 75per, my 02 Auto turns an indicated 2750 rpm at steady 75per. Both have the same size touring edition tires set at 35psi. I have been told that the final drive gearing is supposed to be the same for the automatic equipped PT's. My 02 also seems to downshift more often and sooner on long upgrades. The published final drive ratio for the 01 is 2.694/1 overall. Does anyone know what it is for the 02? Could this be a problem with the computer?
