 6th gearFinal drive
Drive gearZG1 = 45ZA1 = 18
Driven gearZG2 = 34ZA2 = 60

i = Z2 : Z1 → Remark
iG = Gear ratio = ZG2: ZG1= 34 : 45 = 0.756
iA = Final drive ratio = ZA2 : ZA1 = 60 : 18 = 3.389
itotal = Overall ratio = iG x iA = 0.756 x 3.389 = 2.562
1)  Z1 = No. of teeth on driving gear, Z2 = No. of teeth on driven gear
