Gear Ratio Calculator

© 2008-2022 All Rights Reserved

This form allows you to calculate final drive ratios as well as see a comparison of speeds and RPMs within operating ranges of the vehicle. This calculator is useful for planning your rig, allowing you to see what kind of performance to expect from different combinations.

Disclaimer: This form is only to be used for estimation purposes. Exact results of combining equipment may vary from the estimates provided in this form. The data provided here is done so as-is with no warranty expressed or implied.

Note: This calculator is continually being updated. The lists of available equipment will probably never be complete. If you find that the parts you would like to use are not yet listed, please send the information to me at grimmjeeper@gmail.com and I will do my best to include it as quickly as possible.

Detailed Instructions Here

Choose between SAE (feet/miles) and Metric (meters/kilometers)

Save the entries in the form for when you come back later Or clear them entirely
Note that this will store the data locally on your computer. Nothing you do is tracked on the grimmjeeper server.
