Gear Ratios

    There are hundreds of combinations of gear sets for the VW transmission available today. 15 or 20 1st-2nd combinations alone and many 3rds and 4th sets.
    We recommend that you work with a competent trans builder to select what gears you want to use. If you are doing the work yourself we can provide the assistance of gear selections at the time you are placing the order. You may wish to make a graph such as the sample we have provided. If you feel you need more information, purchase the GB 801-GEARING technical article as it has sample charts with engine HP, torque and blank graph paper for you to create your own chart.
    To calculate MPH at a given engine RPM, use the handy formula below or our ratio/tire-size calculator "dream wheel" (GB 788) calculates MPH at RPM for any tire diameter and gear ratio in just a few seconds. For examples and how to make gear charts see GB 801-GEARING, the complete story on gearing which includes graph paper to copy.
    RPM x 1/2 Tire Height = MPH Gear Ratio x R & P x 168
    (Divide Bottom into Top)
