Doing research on the ZF transmission I found this about the gear ratios but with no explanation on how to tell the deference.
I have an idea that the close ratio is for the big block and the wide ratio is for the small block. Is there a way to tell if I was looking at a transmission or talking to someone at a wrecking yard, something to tell the two apart.
This is what I found on another site.
ZF S5-42 Close Ratio:
R: 3.79
1: 4.14
2: 2.37
3: 1.42
4: 1.00
5: 0.77
ZF S5-42 Wide Ratio:
R: 5.24
1: 5.72
2: 2.94
3: 1.61
4: 1.00
5: 0.76
Thanks Tim
