Other interesting notes while I was tearing thru them...
Shift gear ratios:
Foote, 1st = 4:1, 2nd = 2.75:1, 3rd = 1.75:1
700, 1st=8.75:1, 2nd=7:1, 3rd=4.5:1, 4th=3:1, 5th=2.5:1
So yes...on this 700 the 1:1 countershaft gearing is actually 4th rather than 3rd for the 3:1 ratio we normally look for...
This is the second tranny I've seen set up this way (and will run in 4th) normally 5th would be 1.25:1 and 1st would be 7:1 with the 3:1 in third...
