Jack the rear up, put the car in neutral, rotate the tire until the vavle stem is at 12'o clock(or 6, which ever you prefer), and rotate it one full rotation, noting the number of times the driveshaft makes a full rotation. i.e.-if you have 3.55 gears, the driveshaft will spin 3 and a half times when you spin the tire one full rotation.

FMS has their logo stamped into their gears with their ratio size. My FMS Gears have "Ford" and "355" stamped into them.<br /> <br /> <small>[ May 04, 2004, 02:49 PM: Message edited by: 88DroptopGT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
