Hi all.

A look at Bentley and search of archives still has me scratching my
head somewhat.

P34.1b shows figures such as (for the DX 5 sp w/1.6 NA diesel):

Final drive 38:7 = 5.428

Does this mean 38 teeth to 7 teeth = a gear ratio of 5.428:1 ?

My questions spawn from posting of Jim Felders' mention of the 5 speed
tranny and 1.6 diesel.

From what I can gather, the final drive combined with the 5th gear
will reduce RPM's of the engine than an ACW (P 34.1a)

True?

TIA,

Neil.
