As far as mileage I really think it could get about 22 or so, I will let you know when I get home Tuesday. I am trying to drive between 65-70 and that is still turning about 2040 rpm. The optimum rpm for mileage is about 1800 rpm, that is about 60 mph, not sure if I can drive that slow on the interstate but it would be interesting to see what it would do. The last trip in which I got 20 mpg I drove the same speed but I had the smaller tires so I am expecting more than 20 this time.
So far things are finally going well, the transmission is not perfect but drivable. The biggest complaint is that I had a hydraulic lock-out kit put in it and it trys to lock out too soon in 3rd gear and sometimes doesn't want to unlock making the car sort of lunge when slowing. I am hoping there is a way to remedy that but haven't even started researching it, just trying to get higher priority items done now.
I will get some pics and video posted when I get home on Tuesday.
