Need some Ultima gear specs
Can someone here with Ultima & Turbo Ultima parts or experience provide me the following details? If you knew the stock gear ratio(s), that would be great too.
-Final pinion gear #teeth
-Counter gear #teeth
-Differential gear #teeth
Thanks, much appreciated!

Re: Need some Ultima gear specs
Ok, this is from my horrible memory. I think the final pinion has 19 teeth and the diff gear has 58. All .8 module. I don't remember the number of teeth for the counter gear. The spur gear has 44 teeth though.

Re: Need some Ultima gear specs
Stock Ultima gears:
Final pinion=19t
Counter gear=28t
Diff gear=37
Center gear=41t
Final pinion=19t
Counter gear=28t
Diff gear=37
Center gear=41t
If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

Mark, I don't get why you need to ask: they are identical to your optima gears.

Re: Need some Ultima gear specs
Isn’t there a formula that you can use when you calculate the gear ratio?

Re: Need some Ultima gear specs
ofcourse:
internal ratio = (diff/inner gear)x(outer gear/cluster gear)
final ratio = internal ratio x (spur/pinion)
internal ratio = (diff/inner gear)x(outer gear/cluster gear)
final ratio = internal ratio x (spur/pinion)

Re: Need some Ultima gear specs
Thanks Mr. ED! Sins Optima and Ulima have the same gearbox layout as the Scorpion. And I need to calculate the Scorpion gear ratio so I don’t over gear and kill my brand new 2X17 motor at our indoor vintage meet.Mr. ED wrote:ofcourse:

3.0 is the gear ratio for the Ultima and Optima
