if the gears make u rev faster up, does it drop faster down?

sort of like another flywheel?

is the 4.56 gear heavier than stock? (inertial force)

 

when your revs drop down, they have nothing to do with the gearset. you have the clutch pushed in or the car in neutral, which means the engine is NOT spinning or connected to the driveshaft/diff.

 

no, the drop in revs is a function of the weight of your clutch/flywheel. gears won't change that.

 

ur totally right. i'm sorry, i didn't think of it that way. i meant, when u let off the gas but don't disengage the clutch. will the revs drop faster?

 

not that i know of.

 

thnx Wisconsin

 

An unrelated question for my own education: Will the 4.57 gear cause the rpm to be higher at a certain speed than the stock gear? For example, driving with the stock gear at 80 mph in sixth gear, the rpm would be around 4500-5000 rpm. With the 4.57 gear, would the rpm be higher or lower than the stock gear at the same speed in sixth gear?

 

Higher in every gear

 

It will be like driving in 5th gear instead of 6th. Does 5th drop faster?
