For those interested in custom gearing their transaxle (or other gearbox), here's an Excel application I made, free to download:
http://excel.icbm.org/applications.html I used the earlier version for my VW Type III 5-speed. Truth be told, there's nothing like experiencing the real thing. Sometimes numbers on paper just don't tell you enough compared to what your body can experience. But this should help out in the "what if?" department (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

nice work!
i'm sure there are threads with seat of the pants different combo.'s for daily driver, different tracks, various engines ect... that would be nice along side this. i don't know if i'll ever get this far into our car (it would be nice). the factor ratio's always felt... poorly matched. |
