2nd gear ratio

[oldford2]

If high gear is 1 to 1, straight thru. What is the second gear ratio on a 46 3 speed? Thanks

John,

It depends on the transmission gear set you are running:

15MDG/29Cluster 1.77 2nd gear
16MDG/28Cluster 1.60 "

The 16/28 is more common, but who knows. Plus, if you have Zephyr gears, there are two different sets of those.

Thanks hoop,
So, if it is 16/28 (1.6), does that mean for every 1.6 of engine revolutions the driveshaft turns 1 revolution? By the way, I hope you have the casts off soon and get up and around.
