[ROVERNET - UK] P6B Differential ratios (corrected)

[Trevor Colebrook]

Ignore previous posting, the BSE must be kicking in!
This is what I meant to say!


Peter,

You are heading in the wrong direction!

To reduce engine speed for a given road speed you need a gear set with a
smaller number, not a bigger one.

A car with a 4.00:1 axle ration will need more engine revs for a given road
speed than one fitted with a 3.00:1 set.
