Gear ratios for ABF 4-speed gearbox

Post by discipleofsketch »

My usual online source of gearbox info (rjes) doesn't list the ABF box 4th gear size, and I can no longer find the brickyard charts, anyone got this info somewhere?

Thanks! - I don't know why I didn't think of that :)

For the record, ABF gearing (according to that chart) is:-

1st: 3.78

2nd: 2.06

3rd: 1.23

4th: 0.85

Final Drive: 5.83
