So on my Cuda, when I got it, I wanted to know what the rear axle ratio was.....I marked the rear wheel on the inside surface and a corresponding mark on the backing plate.....then a mark on the shaft yoke and a corresponding mark on the lump.
Rotated the wheel one turn and counted the number of turns of the shaft. Got around 2 3/4, which is a 2.76. When I pulled the 3rde member later I confirmed that....2.76.
Well, tried the same thing on the Volare the other day...and got 1.3 turns....that would be 1.33:1.....cant be right, right?
I had to do something wrong...the lowest rear gear was 2.00 or something like that right?
I looked on youtube and there are folks who did it like me and then guys who do 10 full turns of the wheel and divide by 10......
I tried both letting the other wheel rotate opposite (its a peg leg diff) and also tried blocking one wheel.
I tried having it in neutral and in drive....get the same.
What....the.......heck........??
