Sorry to keep dragging this out but I keep coming up with new questions. Ok, I have determined thru various calculators & math based on input revs for 1 tire revolution divided by 2 since one wheel is locked that I might have trans ratios as follows; 4th gear 2.5 turns =1.21
3rd gear3.44 turns =1.67
2nd gear 4.75 turns = 2.31
1st gear 7.75 turns= 3.76
ring& pinion ratio 4.125 = 50mph@3000RPM - 28.3 tire height
The question now is how many if any of these gear ratios are possible & available for a swing axle transmission or are my calculations completely fictitious? Thanks.

I think you have figured it out. Actually surprised how accurate it is.

3.78 or 3.75 first and 2.33 or 2.35 second
1.67 third
and 1.21 fourth
Yes all these ratios have been availible
