3000GT/Stealth Gear Ratios

Posted in Technical Articles by Chris on June 17th, 2008

Detailed gear ratio specifications for the 3000GT and Stealth transmissions, tabulated for easy reference. These specs mostly come from published Mitsubishi or Dodge factory service manuals, but some pieces were filled in from counting the teeth on gears from the physical trans. This covers all AWD and all FWD transaxles in the US Domestic Market (USDM) and the notably different models in the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). If you’re interested in calculating vehicle speed with these gear ratios, see my article on how to do that.

Key: MT = Manual Transmission, AT = Automatic Transmission, Z11A = FWD chassis, Z16A = AWD chassis w/ 4WS, Z15A = AWD Chassis w/o 4WS

  1. Nice job, my friend Jason used to have a handy gear graph plug-in on absurdparadox.com, that would let you input gear ratios to calculate speed ranges. Alas, the site is down.
