Default FAQ: How to determine tranny gear ratios without counting teeth.

It's too bad those profiting off of content provided to their site for free don't appreciate the service.

*edit*
Today, being healthy, amenable and solvent I've had a change of heart.

Here's the write-up. Just not on H-T.

Thanks, Internet Brands, for the bandwidth. :D

Brilliant!
But I don't agree with the assumption that FG is always 4.2667. EUDM VTEC trannies have a crappy 4.062 FG. But anyway in this case the results would not fit any existing tranny, so it will force another pass with the lower FG.

In all seriousness - thanks, that was informative.

Nice write up. It looks like it takes less than one pint to set up and take measurements (and pictures) lol.

Default Re: FAQ: How to determine tranny gear ratios without counting teeth.

is there a way i can get the write up on this? the identification tag on my transmission is gone, havent looked for a stamp on the housing yet, but came across this in a search with respect to the title of the post, this could quite possibly help me identify my transmission if i new the procedure and i havent found any other links or pages to the writeup on this.

after 12 years i would hope a procedure like this would be archived...
