Not a significant difference to me. However, what does this mean (if
anything) to performance, top end speed, or other measurement? Seems nil to
me but
have been told 7/37 was "stronger" in that there were only 7 "fatter" teeth
cut
as opposed to 8.
Education on gears please? >>
I'd say you are lucky to have a lower ration Don......but when you start
driving it, you'll wish you had an even lower one.....I just put a 4.875 into
an N
type and the owner was greatly pleased with the roadablity on the
highway......others will tell you that your engine won't pull that lower
ratio....I don't
buy it and we don't have an endless series of roundabouts to deal with.......j
