Please excuse my ignorance; but, I constantly see people talking about gearing, and I really am not sure exactly what it is. I LOVE cars and read anything I come across that has anything to do with them. I am constantly wandering over to howstuffworks.com and just read for hours on car related stuff. I can't find anything on what gears ratios are and gearing and all that stuff but I want to learn it. I know a decent amount of stuff but when it comes to the tranny my knowledge drops off. If anyone could direct me on where to find something like this or tell me would be great.

 

I replied to your "other" post.

 

Thanks for the post and that looks like a good mod depending on what you want the car to do but it isn't what I was looking for. That shows me what it does, I want to understand how it does it, what happens to cause the acceleratiion to be quicker? How the parts go in, figures, and what exactly does this replace? I am not exactly sure what gears these are replacing. Is this a tranny or differential mod?
