Introduction
Upgrading your VW Baywindow Bus with a Freeway Flyer gearbox can enhance highway driving comfort by reducing engine RPMs at cruising speeds. This modification adjusts gear ratios to provide a more relaxed and fuel-efficient driving experience.
Advantages of a Freeway Flyer Gearbox
Key benefits include:
- Lower Engine RPMs: By modifying gear ratios, the Freeway Flyer gearbox decreases engine revolutions per minute during highway speeds, leading to reduced engine wear and potentially longer engine life.
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: Operating at lower RPMs can decrease fuel consumption, making long-distance travel more economical.
- Enhanced Driving Comfort: Reduced engine noise and vibration at cruising speeds contribute to a more pleasant driving experience.
It's important to note that while a Freeway Flyer gearbox lowers engine RPMs, it doesn't necessarily increase the vehicle's top speed. The primary goal is to achieve a more comfortable and efficient ride at typical highway speeds.
