Transmission ratio 
     
Transmission 
ratio  =   No. of teeth 
driven gear  :   No. of teeth 
drive gear  
     
Ratios  
Formula  
iG   =   gear ratio   ZG2 : ZG1  
iA   =   axle ratio   ZA2 : ZA1  
iov  =  overall ratio  iG x iA  
     
Example:  
  
  
5th gear  
Final drive  
Drive gear   ZG1 = 37   ZA1 = 9  
Driven gear   ZG2 = 31   ZA2 = 35  
     
Calculations:  
  
iG   =   31 : 37 = 0.838     
iA   =   35 : 9 = 3.889     
iov   =   (31 : 37) x (35 : 9) = 0.838 x 3.889 = 
3.259

Vehicle speed V, calculating
 
     
V  
=  
n : iov x UA x 0.06  
n   =   Engine speed (RPM)  
iov   =   Overall ratio  
UA   =   Dynamic rolling circumference of tires 
(m)  
V   =   Vehicle speed (km/h)  
     
Example: 
     
V   =   1000 : 3.100 x 1.93 x 0.06   =   37 km/h  
      At an engine speed of 1000 RPM, the vehicle 
road speed in 5th gear is 37 km/h.
