    I get 2.73

    I thought you divided the number of ring gear teeth by the number of pinion teeth. Doing that, i get 2.7333.

    here is an interesting angle ...
    if your car has a 350 turbo ... replacing it with a 700R4 tranny would be similar to installing a 3.08 gear in place of your 2.56 unit ... AND... it would drop your 60 mph cruise rpms by about 600. :TU:
