t5 gear ratios

[eff eff]

I've tried a search to find the gear ratios of a T5 in a griff 500 so far no luck, can anyone tell me what they are?

eff eff,

according to Steve Heath's book:

1st Gear = 2.95:1
2nd Gear = 1.95:1
3rd Gear = 1.34:1
4th Gear = 1.00:1
5th Gear = 0.73:1 (0.80:1 in later models)

When looking at overall gear ratios remember that there were at least two different Diff ratios used.

Right, so short of stripping the diff and gerbox and counting the teeth is there any way of knowing? The car is one of the last 20 made

There is usually a tag on the rear casing with the ratio stamped on it, or get the wheels off the ground, put a chalk mark on the input shaft and turn a wheel while counting prop shaft rotations.
