Well the general idle for most engines is 750 RPM. My F10a sits there.

The f10a and the f8a should idle at 900 rpm as per fact specs to keep the oil pumping through,i would never drive over 80 kph with a 4 speed-revs to high for too long and the 5 speed is the way to go.the difference is amazing and better fuel economy.im getting 5 litres per 100klm in the super carry with f8a and 5 speed,roof racks on top and 4 kids on board...ken
i love my van

You sure do. Fuels cheap, but with a 5 speed its bloody cheap 
These gearboxes are cheap as unless you go through a wreckers who will charge you the earth.
