If gear a rotates at 100 rotations per minute how much does gear b rotate?
Gear b would rotate: 100 times the number of teeth in gear a divided by the number of teeth in gear b.
There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.
2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.
What is the formula of a driven gear and a driving gear?
Turn the drive gear 1 complete turn, and count how many times the driven gear turns. For example, to figure out the rear end gear ratio if the drive shaft turns once and the rear turns 3 and a half times you have a 1:3.5 gear ratio. This means the rear wheels turn 3.5 times for each one turn of the drive shaft.
Why would a 1997 Chevy diesel not shift into overdrive?
If your 1997 Chevy diesel will not shift into overdrive, you might have an issue with a transmission sensor. Some of these vehicles have several sensors that must engage in order to shift.
Will a 1998 Chevy 1500 interchange differential with a 2000 Chevy?
Ok. Two things here. 2000 was the change up year for Chevy Silverado/Tahoe. If it looks like an 01, 02, and newer, then no. If it looks like your 98, then maybe. If botht rucks look the same, then go to the glove box, and open it. Two numbers you need to check here. G-80, is the code for positraction. If one says G-80, it has it. If one does not, then consider the modification, however it turns out. Next, go to the GT, number. They both should be GT-3, which is 3:73, ratio, which they both will likely be. GT-4, is 4:10's, which would be so if it were a heavy duty model. GT-2, was 3:53 ratio. Again, consider any differences, if any. Then, yes, it will bolt right in.
How do i find the gear ratio of my truck?
There are four ways to find a ratio.

2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.
A gear with 40 teeth turns at 10 RPMs how many RPMs will the gear with 10 teeth turn?
In this particular sinerio , you would calculate the unit rate.To do so you simply divide 40 by 4 (10), then divide 10 by 4 as well. Therefor a gear with 10 teeth turns with 2.5 rpms.
Where exactly is the rear differential fluid plug located under your 1994 Chevy S10 Blazer?
Passenger side of the diff, there are 2 ribs or fins. The fill plug is a 3/8 square drive under 13 year build up of stiff grease and dirt. It's there.

How do you drain fluid in front differential on 1995 Chevrolet astro van awd?
Jack up vehicle loosen the 10 differential bolts using a screwdriver pry off pressed steel cove allow oil to drain , clean metal magnet off located inside diff cover, clean both mating sides to cover and differential housing, replace with a gasket which you buy at the local parts dealer with 80/90 weight gear oil, put gasket on torqued to specified tightness, remove check fill plug passenger side differential fill to the quantity specs and that it (note use a wheel blocking system before performing this task 1/2 inch socket required to take differential bolts off , gasket costs $6.00 same as rtv sealer but way easier and less messy to use.
Does every car have a differential?
Yes, although depending of whether you have a front wheel or rear wheel drive, the differential will be set up differently. A differential is just a set of mechanical gears that equalizes the power between the left and right drive wheels, particularly when cornering, when the outside wheel travels further than the inside wheel.
It depends on whether or not your car needs a differential. Nascars do not have a differential because those cars always turn in one direction throughout the race. Gokarts (yeah, I know,they aren't cars) do not have a differential.

Where is the trans axle fill on a 1990 Toyota Camry?
Look on the side of the transaxle for a plug, if this is a manual transmission. If it is an automatic, the fluid is added through the tube the dipstick is in. A manual transmission takes a heavy gear oil, usually about a 90 weight viscosity, and should only be filled until the oil begins to flow out of the hole. Check the level by inserting your finger into the hole. If it is right below the level of the hole, it does not need more oil. If this vehicle has several hundred thousand miles on it, it might be wise to drain the transaxle and fill it with new oil. If it is an automatic with more than 100,000 miles, flushing the transaxle is a good idea.
What size is the washer on the filler plug of rear diff on a Honda HRV?
These fill washers are also commonly known as crush washers. Because each are designed toÊhave spring-like properties so that when the bolt is screwed in, the washer pushes out on it to create a tight fit. Hence, these washers are usually discarded after each use. The size of the washer for the fill plug of the rear differential is usually 20 mm.
Major failure. Remove the cover and the cause should be easily visible.

Estimated cost to replace rear end of 2002 explorer?
Working on my own 94 ford explorer XLT rear end now. Not sure of what your issues are.
Your question if u go to a junk yard you could pick up rear end for 150-400$ junk yards very greatly in price, not sure of the hours to install I imagine Chilton book has about 6hr (just a guess) so install your used rear end labor 2-400$. so that is best guess.
A whole rear end is rarely needed, unless your upgrading. it could be a bad bearing, seal leak, cover leak, your post didn't mention symptoms. (as in my case carrier bearing broke) bearing 9$ at advanced and have a machine shop put on (carrier) 25$ dial indicator 14$ at harbor freight and a few wrenches. If bad/damaged carrier ring have to replace carrier ring and pinion. If u have 8.8 3.27 let me know found a shop got one with 200 miles on it for under 70$ delivered. (Normally run between 170-240$.) But this is just basics.
Me I would drain your differential takes about 15-20 min w/o cleaning, if you can change your oil you can do this. Take your cover off and look if there is pieces of metal in there then you will know if something is broken(in my case a bearing). It will tell you a lot.(while you are under the rear before you start look for leaks in front of the differential where your drive shaft comes in, this is where drive-shaft attaches to your pinion, if it is leaking you need a seal. The fill plug is on this side also. ( so if it is a pinion seal, keep fluid in it until you can get it fixed.)(if it is a seal don't change fluid but check level and fill, check it regularly until you have it fixed)
A pinion and carrier change out is quite involved , however can be done at home, I am up to 200$,(includes) min install kit, tools. Then 70$ carrier and pinion. with approx another 50$ incidentals( changing axle seals and bearings, since it is all apart any way,) I( estimate total cost to be under 350$)
I know I touched base on a few things, being a blue collar worker, just want you to look at all of your options. I try to save money where I can.
Changing My first differential, have got 90% of my information free on the net, from videos to forums. Hope this helps
WARNING !!!! In my case I had gear noises, checked my 4x4 hubs, (fixed 4x4 computer) and still had noises, drained and checked my differential and found broke bearing, (which damaged carrier ring and pinion so ordered a used one) so before doing this make sure you have other mode of transportation. (has taken a week to order get parts, ring carrier (basic install kit couple special tools, one being dial indicator (a must have)(found one at harbor freight for 15$) so be warned.
This is basic information A LOT is left out. If you have a broke bearing and your ring and pinion are not damaged (search for pictures on internet),just bearing replacement is cheaper.
Looking in your differential, draining it cleaning it with brake cleaner (let evaporate before adding new fluid) will give any laymen an idea of what you need, to look for, do it your self, or at least and idea of what to call a shop for and ask for prices, could also avoid some misinformation on what service needs to be done.( since you have already see it.) Hope this helps
What is the differential gear ratio in a 2000 F150?
There were Three different Differentials take your Vin number and ask your local dealer. Good Luck and Remember.
Change Your Mind, Not Your Oil.
Use the First In Synthetic Motor Oil's.
See My Bio For more information. Answer There should be a tag on one of the bolts on the rear cover. The gear ration is stamped on it.
