i think you can count the number of teeth on the ring and pinion.
I'm not sure how many teeth they are supposed to have though.

If you count the number of teeth on the ring gear, and divide it by the number of teeth on the pinion gear, you should get 3.73 (not 3:73)

Shouldn't the ring gear have something stamped on it like 41-10 being 4.10's as an example.
