Questions?? Gear ratios?
How do you determine gear ratios? And how is it you go about setting them?

start by reading the manual for the vehicle....different manufacturers will recommend different ratios and different techniques for properly setting the gear lash...(space between the cogs on pinion gear and spur gear; if don't know what pinion gear and spur gear are...read the manual)
