Subject:Ever Notice Where The Needles Are on Speedo and Tach?
From:Loren Busch

Anyone else ever notice that when cruising at 55 mph (at least in my '90
21.L WBX and automatic tranny) that the needles of the speedo and tach are
pointing straight up? And they stay in parallel at higher speeds?  I'm
betting the straight up at 55 was engineered that way, glance down at the
dash and if there all is well.  Reminds me of the instrument panel on some
airplanes, glance across the instrument panel and if all instruments read
straight across all is running as it should be.
Question:  Is it about the same with a 4 speed tranny?
