CALCULATION CHART OF CONVERSION RATIO "i" (EXAMPLE)
| Gear | 5th gear | Final drive |
|---|---|---|
| Drive gear | ZG1 = 51 | ZA1 = 18 |
| Driven gear | ZG2 = 38 | ZA2 = 66 |
i =Z2 /Z2 =Number of teeth on driven gear/Number of teeth on drive gear
iG = Gear ratio =ZG2 /ZG1 = 38/51 = 0.745
iA = Final drive ratio = ZA2 /ZA1 = 68/18 = 3.667
iOverall = Conversion ratio = iG x IA
iOverall = 0.745 x 3.667 = 2.732
