[VB] 59/60 tranny

 Hi Jdd,
http://www.actionimport.com/Tech_Files/gear_ratio_computer.htm

Then divide the result by the RGB ratio to be used. 

 EG 3.44 R&P, .82 fouth, 27" diameter tires @ 3,000 RPM = 85 MPH:

 85 MPH divided by 1.26 = 67.5 MPH

85 MPH divided by 1.39 = 61 MPH

E&B

i’m running a freshly rebuilt 1600 sp … its a great engine … 15” rims … small 
nut redux boxes (I wanna stick with small nut because i have a spare set) … when 
I first called rancho the guy on the phone recommended the 3.88 RP … but when I 
called back I spoke with a  different guy and he said the 3.44 would be better 
for my combination …. (205 75 15 tires) … I said i wanted to cruise at about 60 
at about 3000 rpms. 

I’d go with rancho but its like $2,200.00 to ship complete transaxle to Canada … 
given the cost of shipping it doesn’t make sense to ship back the core …. 

anyway, there are a few local guys who rebuild and I’m thinking i may just tell 
them what i need and save $1,000.00 …. 

I’m thinking that there must be a table or something somewhere … plug in what 
you have and what you want and it tells you what you need?
