Subject: [Tigers] Hokanson's Gear Ratio
Calculator
Tigers (and Bob H.)
I made a mistake, once. I thought I was
wrong, but it turned out I was right after all. ;-)
Not having used Bob's
excellent Excel Transmission Calculator in a while, I thought it wasn't
functioning. I so stated in the "Re: [Tigers] BW T10's - early Tigers" e-mail
response I made to the List.
Well, turns out it works, after all. When I
returned to my Mac "Desktop" (default download), I had 15 copies of the Excel
file on the desktop awaiting me, hidden by the pages I had open. They were
downloaded by my default desktop download location preference setting.
In
typical Mac fashion, double-clicking on the spread sheet icon (document)
auto-opens the Excel program and the "Calculator". This program is really a
beautiful, practical, way to evaluate - with each variable able to be changed
and examined for result. (Tire Size,
All of 12 of them worked just fine.
If
you do NOT have the Excel program, there is a ** free ** "Excel Reader"
program link in the article (but I don't think the parameters are able to be
changed in the free "read only" program - I don't know.

like it!"
If you have never tried this Hokanson program, you will discover
just how nice it is. Change tire size, rear-end and tranny gear ratios. (4
and 5 speed default), rpm, shift gears, and 6 different transmissions - OR,
select your own tranny and rear end ratios. Fantastic "What If" program.
Thank you, Bob Hokanson.
