I see the charts for the gear ratios for tranny's. What do the numbers actually mean though? What's better higher numbers or lower number per gear? Thanks 4any help

 

Quite simply it works like this:

(Wheel RPM) = (Engine RPM)/((Gear Ratio)*(Final Drive Ratio))

It depends on what you intend to do. Ideally, you would have a CVT that would keep the engine at its horse power peak.

 

the higher the number the shorter the gear...simply put...dogginator isnt wrong...but he overcomplicated a simple answer

 

Math is the simple answer!
