Gearing Analyzer
Instructions
- Tire diameter — enter the outer diameter in inches. This directly affects speed calculation.
- Final drive — the rear axle ratio (e.g., 3.73). Higher number = shorter gearing.
- Max RPM — the maximum engine speed used for the table.
- Converter slip % — torque converter slip percentage. Adds realism for automatics.
- Quick Change — Winters-style rear. If “Yes”, enter high/low gear teeth. Their ratio is included in overall gearing.
- Number of gears — choose gear count and enter each ratio. A preset can auto-fill these but fields remain editable.
What the tool shows
- Speed table — per-gear speed at RPM increments (km/h and mph).
- Overall ratio — header shows gear ratio and then [overall X.XX] = gear × Quick Change × diff.
- Gauges — pick a gear and move RPM slider to see real-time speed.
You can use this tool to estimate:
- How speed changes with different final drives or tires.
- Speed at a given RPM in each gear.
- Quick Change gear impact on overall gearing.
- Converter slip effect on actual speed.
