Does anyone know the ratios for Metro/Swift automatic transmissions?
I keep seeing talk about the manual transmission ratios in manual Swifts and Metros (3cyl and 4cyl) from various years. However, I'm having trouble finding a list of automatic transmission gear and final drive ratios.
I'm just trying to get an idea of how fast an automatic Metro engine would turn on the highway. |
Oh, I found some information, but I still don't know the final drive ratios. I also don't have any info on any automatic Metros other than a '97 I4.
From GM website: 1997 Geo Metro For 1997: TRANSMISSIONS 5-speed manual 5-speed manual 3-speed w/ overdrive w/overdrive automatic (1.0L L4 engine) (1.3L L4 engine) (1.3L L4 engine) Gear Ratios 1st 3.42 3.58 2.81 2nd 1.89 1.89 1.55 3rd 1.28 1.28 1.00 4th 0.91 0.91 ---- 5th 0.76 0.76 ---- Reverse 3.27 3.27 2.30 |

So, final drive ratios are the same for a given year/model, regardless of whether it has a manual or automatic trans? |
yep the final drive ratio is the same. The auto just makes the motor scream at higher speeds with the 1:1 3rd gear. It doesn't seem to hurt them as far as life of the rings/bearings it just makes the mileage suck over 55mph

Someday, if I ever get the time, I'd like to buy a 3 cyl Metro and install a 4 cylinder transmission. I'll practically be able to cross America on gas fumes... |
Actually, to be 100% ideal, I'd want a 3cyl engine, a 4cyl transmission with a first gear from a 3cyl transmission. That way, I could have low revs on the highway, but I wouldn't burn up the clutch by slipping it a lot when starting from a stop.

Be sure to get the 8-valve's tranny, not the 16's. When Suzuki built 'em that way, they also had a milder cam for low-end efficiency, etc - the XFI setup. You can push it even farther with big, LRR tires and improved aero.
