I am wondering do any of you know what the gear ratios are for the k10, (including automatic) I am interested in comparing the top gear ratio in each of the 3 gearbox's offered, ie 4speed man', 5speed man', and 3speed auto any links or info would be appreciated?
Brendán!
 
cant really offer you much help on figures etc, but there were two different 5 speeds.. A short ratio (basically the same as the 4 speed but 5 gears, so shorter ratios), and a long / wide ratio box.. which had exactly the same ratios as the 4 speed, but an extra 5th, better fuel economy
 
thanks a million man! I'm drivin a 4 spd @ the moment, but I do a 60 mile round trip every day!, the 4 spd isn't the best on the road as i feel it revs too hard @ 100 km/h. I recently drove a 5 speed and it wasn't as stressed @ 100 km/h. I remember that my first Micra (auto) was revving alot lower @ 60mph. If I remember correctly she used to change to top between 45 and 50 mph, where the 4spd really changes @ 40. I'm going changing the micra (staying k10) and am considering the auto, but I wanna compare the top gear ratio's and see which one's best suited?
I am open to correction on any of the above points! and any help/info would be greatly appreciated?

Personally I find the long ratio to be the best. but it depends on what you want from the car.
