Gears

Excuse my ignorance but what do these figures mean are they ratios (R&P ?)
|
The R&P ratio is first given with each gearset....rolleyes:
Gear gatios are the function of the R&P and each gearset. So for instance a transaxle with a "3.0 R&P gear" and a "Alfetta 1st gear (3.30:1)would have a total ratio of 11.71 . Same gear with a 4.1 R&P would have a ratio of 13.53.
Gear Comparisons for 116 Transaxles
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Verde 3.54 stk /overall 2.87/10.18 1.72/6.11 1.23/4.36 .95/3.25 .76/2.69
Economy tall gears
Alfetta Gears with 4.1 R&P 3.30/ 13.53 2.00/8.20 1.34/5.49 1.03/4.22 .83/3.40
Better performance for 4 cyl or V6
Alfetta with 3.54 R&P 3.30/11.71 2.00/7.10 1.34/4.76 1.03/3.60 .83/2.94
More performance in lower gears, fuel economy about same as stock Verde in 5th
GTV6 gears & 3.54 R&P 3.50/12.39 1.96/6.94 1.25/4.43 .95/3.25 .78/2.76
Mod. Verde, 4.10 R&P
with Alfetta 3rd, 4th. 5th, 2.87/11.77 1.72/7.04 1.34/5.49 1.03/4.22 .83/3.40
Closer Ratios better performance good 5th economy Requires moderate machining & set up
My favorite setup especially if used with RJR .95 5th gear for a 3.89 overall ratio for hot street short track racing
