Ratios Final Drives Which Ratio
There are a number of ways to determine which ratio your gearbox uses. The table below is a good indication, but is by no means exhaustive. Many standard Hewland ratios are used in customer specific gearboxes, and occasionally special ratios are made specifically for customers.

Most modern Hewland ratios have the gear family etched onto at least one of the pair of gears that comprise a ratio, and in all instances the gear family will be shown on the cardboard carton that the ratios are shipped in.
