Hi all, think Iam missing something with working out my diff ratio on my english/live axle....

I am getting 2 rotations of the prob to 1 on the wheel giving a 2:1 ratio

What I am I missing....


Thanks

If one wheel is stationary and only the other rotates, you will get half the actual ratio.

You need to jack up both wheels, rotate both of them exactly 1 revolution, and count the number of turns of the prop. You can do it with one wheel on the ground but you need to double the answer.
