 There are no 18 tooth pinions.

3.27 have 11 tooth pinions and 36 tooth ring gears. 
3.55 have 9 tooth pinions and 32 tooth ring gears. 
3.89 have 9 tooth pinions and 35 tooth ring gears.

Guys,

Last week I helped a friend pull his drivetrain (broken spider gears).  Just 

cause I'd never done it - I disassembled the bad diff.  I counted the teeth - 18 

pinion & 32 ring.



Can somebody explain the calculations to determine the ratio - I can't get the 

3.55 it's supposed to be (I seem to be off by a factor of 2 - why)?

Thanks,

Andy K.
