hi there I just bought a second hand g36 gearbox as part of a job lot of parts and the guy told me it been modified but he didn't know what was inside (brilliant)

iv opened it up and ist been built buy an ape or a pack of monkeys

but is there an easy way to work out the gear ratio of whats inside

thanks alex

Taking 18:1 as a standard ratio, count the teeth. High speed gears will have less, high torque more. I don't know which gears are altered or whether it is all of them, but less/more teeth is how it's done, the same as gears on a bike.

Damn difficult to see how many times the motor gear spins though, eh?

How tf are you going to have the motor gear in contact with the bevel gear and see it spinning?
