Re: Need shifting transmission layouts/ideas
I couldn't pass up the challenge.

12:50
50:32 or 32:50
21:64

244% Reduction difference.
High Gear RPM approx 548 RPM
(assuming 81% speed loss from free speed.)
All gears available from Boston Gear, as standard parts.

On 229, we used a similar layout in 2004.

See attached for gearing calculations.
