hey all, just trying to figure out what ratio I'm running, without removing diff and counting r/p. The closest I can work out by marking wheel and t shaft and counting it looks about 2.37??? does this sound right? I've recounted several times and it definately not even doing 2.5 revolutions of the shaft to get back to starting poss on the wheel. Is this a realistic ratio? thanx .....Snarba

Yes the ratio is 4.7:1. If you lift only one wheel off the ground and turn the pinion, that wheel will turn twice as many revolutions that the ring gear (crownwheel} does, so you must multiply your pinion revolutions by 2.
