Transmission ratios
Adhering to the keep it simple, stupid theme I did not allow race transmissions in these cars because that would've allowed for six-speed gearboxes. Were there an option to maintain a four-speed gearbox but allow some flexibility in the transmission ratios, or if there were a way for me to tune a race transmission and lock the gearbox but allow you to adjust the differential, I would've allowed those. Be it as it may, I allowed the sport transmission so racers can alter the differential gear.
While testing I have found (and have heard about) cars with transmissions starting with close ratio gear splits between one two and two three, and a wide ratio gear split between three four. Should you select one of these cars there are two ways to combat the problem:

- Select differential gears in the range of 2.82:1 to 3.08:1 and make the transmission a close ratio three speed. Or …
- Select differential gears in the range of 3.70:1 to 4.62:1 and make the transmission a wide ratio two speed.

Re: Transmission ratios
Good points Geoff and also a good thing to remember is that as the ratios get shorter (your ring and pinion ratio becomes a bigger number) the dead or lugging feeling you have when shifting into 4th gear will be less and less.
You may find that switching a cars 3.23 rear end gear to a 3.91 or 4.10 will make 4th gear a solid usable gear for some short to mid range tracks and only need to use the 2 or 3 speed trick for a track like Road America.

Re: Transmission ratios
Sounds good for the O2 cars. The U2 cars are a little less torquey. LOL. I'm trying to play with different gear ratios for the 510 especially. The pinto isn't bad at all. But still not as good as a 5 speed.
