mph to rpm

As my tach is broken and I do not want to overrev, is there any relation between mph and rpm’s for each gear that I can use as reference?
My car is a 2.0 Lt with a 601 trans.

Thanks

Your transaxle is a '901' ...

You need to determine the transaxle 'Type' number ... it is stamped on the bottom near the drain plug, and is of the form 901/xx ... and is in close proximity to the serial number of the transaxle.

Your tire brand, model, and size for the rear wheels is also need to determine speed accurately from rpm.

Here are some useful charts with the possible choices of transaxle:

If you would be so kind to provide the ratio for each gear, the final drive you are using and the tire size, I would be happy to make a gear chart for you.
