[Tigers] rear end gear ratio and TigersUnited

[Steve Laifman]

Tigers and Bob,

There are lot's of responses, but if you want to check out YOUR gear 
ratio, 4 & 5 speed, tire/wheel size and shift speeds vs the rpm's you 
think your good for, here is a MARVELOUS resource by  Bob Hokanson. It 
is quite thorough and even provides a link to a free MS Excel Reader 
that works for both PC and Mac O/S.  The "calculator" lets one change 
the rpm, transmission gear ratio selector, switch to another tranny 
gear, and "shift".

The data set default is Tiger Mk I "close ratio" (not) and the MkII 
"wide ratio" (not), the Mustang 5 speed, the Motorsport 5 speed, and the 
JBA 1352-000-204 5 speed transmissions.

Lot's of fun, and utility.  I've had both the stock Mk I 4spd, and the 
MkII.  I like the MkII "wide ratio - not" for around town and highway.  
Could stand a little longer 4th by using a 5 spd, but the MkII is 
perfectly adequate.

Use it, it's fun too!  THANKS BOB.
