Hi all,
I have tried and tried to understand the nature of the ratios in the final gearing gearing and tried to create a calculator tied to the final drive and numbers, but it is very confusing and I cannot seem to find a calculator detailing out the steps.
It seems that the ratios are calculated as follows:
Effective...... to transfer gear Actual (i.e. 'with use of default transfer gear of 1.32)
1-4.37................. 1-3.311
2-2.71................. 2-2.053
3-1.93................. 3-1.462
4-1.50................. 4-1.136
5-1.24.................. 5-.939
6-1.04.................. 6-.788
But is there another gearing ratio change being a Final drive of 1-3.08?? It was mentioned somewhere but I cant seem to get this figured out.
How is the actual Gearing by gear calculated: Effective to transfer to final. Is there a calculator somwhere with each part of the gearing process?
The diameter of the rear tires on the GT-40 I will be using are 705.5mm diameter. 15 x 295/55 so I am wondering if you could help by pointing me at a calculator, or spreadsheet that allows the conversion of the L140 box to real speeds using the drop gear and final gearing ratios as I appear to missing something pretty basic in my understanding.
Thanks in advance to all,
Andrew
