Paragon Reversing Gear ratio
I have the Atomic Stevedore engine equipped with a Paragon Reduction Gear (2.04:1 gear ratio) along with a Paragon OXKB Reversing Gear.
My question is: With this combination, is the gear ratio in forward the same as the gear ratio in reverse? i.e. is the reverse gear ratio maintained at 2.04:1 ? Any assistance or comments would be greatly appreciated. |

My understanding is that the reversing gear is 1/3 the ratio of the forward gear.

John,
On your engine, the external 2.04:1 gear reduction on your engine does add to the 1.27:1 gear reduction already provided by the reversing gear. Don |

Dave,
I get lost in some of the math in this issue, but I believe you're essentially correct. 1.27:1 would be round up nicely to a 30% gear reduction from the 1:1 ratio of normal forward. Don |
