  View original topic: Shaw trans/tire calculator. Anyone have a copy they would share

The link to the Shaw vanagon trans/tire calculator spread sheet has been dead for years. However, it was downloadable and I had a copy on my old computer. That computer died a while back and I lost the file with it. Does anyone else have a copy they would share with me?

Thanks!

If you still have the computer, the file is likely recoverable.

Hans, I do see charts with a simple search, but is there something special about a Vanagon that I’m missing?

This might help, and Good Luck:

I was curious, so I searched a bit. Looks like samba member vwnut2 might be the person who made that spreadsheet originally. Not a lot of activity here, but maybe a lurker. Couldn't hurt to DM if he's the source.

i've always found this gear/rpm/tire calculator to blow all the others away

https://www.blocklayer.com/rpm-gear

it doesn't have T3/T2 specific ratios pre-loaded, but those are easy to google....or just look up somewhere like here

Yes, there are plenty of calculators out there, the Shaw one was just my favorite because it did have all the vanagon trans codes and gear ratios pre-loaded along with a column for custom ratios. It's not a critical thing, just a convenience. I was hoping someone may have downloaded it as I had. Thanks for the replies and suggestions, I'll see if vwnut2 is still around. Meanwhile, if someone has it, please let me know.

Thanks!
