[FlyRotary] Re: Dodge vs Ford
Ok I was wrong on that one, on the
trucks the sun gear is held solid to the case, the power is put into
the planet and the power is taken off the ring gear, now what the hell
ratio that works out to be I don't know as I am confused.
I
would like to add that in the truck the planet is held solid to the
case, the power in is put into the sun gear and the power out is taken
from the ring gear so the ratio comes out to 2.21 rather than 3.21 as
I am using it.
The
Dodge overdrive is is a 3.21 and it comes from a 518 and 618
transmission, is that the gear use you were asking about
??
Ken
I am not familiar with the Dodge
transmission but an overdrive gear with a ratio of 3.17 : 1 is
astounding! Every other OD gear I've come across has a ratio
something like .707 to 1. Are you sure about that
gear's use? I'm always up for learning a new
wrinkle.
