What is maximum gear ratio?

What is short gear ratio n how to eliminate gears in your car?

  • Hello everyone. Can anyone explain to me what short gear ratio is? And I would like to know if there is a way to eliminate the first gear in our car. Currently the gear is 1-N-2-3-4-5. So I would like to eliminate the 1st gear so that it’ll be N-1-2-3-4 @ N-2-3-4-5.

  • Answer:

    short gear ratio just means a very low gear and you will pay hundreds if not thousands for a custom tranny, not really worth it. You dont have to start in first gear remember... I can start from a dead stop in 3rd gear in my bike, depending on how much torque your bike has, and it sounds like your question is about a bike not a car..

You should post this in the automotive section. Unless you can find some secondary market kit for this, it would require a redesign of the shifter mechanism, not something that is easy to do. And requires an expert. But since 1 is on the end, perhaps you can just block the shifter from moving into that position with a plate or even a bolt in the right spot? I think "short gear ratio" is the same as "low gear ratio", which is what 1st gear is.
