Drive Configurations

• The Tremec TKO 600 has two drive configurations: A first gear that is 2.87 and .82od and a second gear is 2.87 and .64od. When shifting, the standard shift position is at the rear point of the gear. According to Bajarang Engineer Works, gear ratios are determined by "how many turns of the input shaft cause one revolution of the output shaft." In other words, 2.87 means that the input shaft must turn two times before the output shaft turns .87 times. And .82od refers to the outside diameter.
