    Hi gang!

    I'm sitting down crunching some numbers for a project I'm working on. Does any body know right off the top of their head the ratio of first gear in the typical '39 type trans? I knew this at one time but my brain just isn't working well enough to recall it. I searched but didn't come up with anything.

    28 tooth cluster (passenger cars) is 2.82 to 1
    29 tooth cluster ( P/U's 40 and later) is 3.11 to 1
