going from type 1, to type 2 gear ratio question

[Alan Harland]

So my current type 1 gear stack is 3:88/4.11/2.47/1.72/1.31. If I wanted those same ratios ( or as close to)  in a bus box, what would those ratios work out to be?

[Mike Lawless]

Alan, you would multiply the R&P ration with the gearstack ratios and get as close as you can. You have the option of 4.86, 4.57 and now, the new 4.13 R&P ratios.
For example your 3.88 X 4.11 low would be 15.94. To get close to that ratio with say a 4.57 R&P, you could divide 16 by 4.57 to get 3.50. You can try to get a mainshaft as close to that as you can. Mine for example has a 3.55 low, but I understand that ratio is no longer available.

Ok, thanks. I'll have to sit down and figure this out.
