Is the 30RH terrible? Maybe I have my RH’s mixed up.Well they hold up behind 1000 hp dragsters, but that 2.5 is more of a 30rh and a 2.5 couldn’t pull 4th gear on anything but a downhill grade.
this is the only place I’ve posted. Not sure where the other reply would be. My engine runs basically at 3k rpm’s everywhere. That’s highway speed and in town speed, it’s the set shift point for the transmission. 3k rpm’s with stock exhaust is loud and drones. I wish I had a 4th gear so highway 55+ driving was at a lower RPM.I replied to a similar post from you elsewhere yesterday but, again, yours is the 30RH. The 32RH only goes behind the 4.0 engine. And while a 4th gear is often a good thing, it's not always a good thing... take the 42RLE 4-speed transmission. Its 4th gear/overdrive drops the rpms down so low most people are close to or are lugging the engines with it.
Since you're complaining about your engine rpms, what size tires are you running and what axle ratio is in your axles? I gave you a photo of where the tag is so you can figure out your ratio. Not to mention if you had the 32RH behind the 4.0 you'd have an entirely different opinion of the 32RH.
I have stock gears and 31’s. I know the 2.5L mated to the 30RH sucks. So I’m complaining yes, but I fully aware I have the dreaded 2.5 auto setup.
