Re: important gear question

# teeth on ring gear/# teeth on pinion gear = gear ratio

Re: important gear question

Count the teeth on the ring gear. Divide that number by the number of teeth on the pinion gear = gear ratio.

Re: important gear question

Do a search on the I'net. They appear to be a very large supplier of gears to the automotive inudstry.
