For a manual transmission, put it n gear, push the van until the tires make a revolution and count how many times the engine turns. This will give the overall gearing.

Supposedly the tranny is a TiICo rebuild (yes, tiico...). All codes on the bottom side have been ground out. There are zero marks otherwise. None, zilch. yikes. So how do I figure out the gearing? it is a 2wd vanagon tranny from a 86 bus. I don't want to pull the bellhousing to count the final drive. I could figure it out empricially with rpm and speed i guess. Anybody got a solid answer otherwise? thanks matt
