Someone told me what the gear ratios were from a manual:

"the manual shows 26.43:1 for 1st and 18.28:1 for 2nd"

Just what i wanted to see. I think this means that its now between the avalanche and monsoon.
This gearing is just a bit too slow and i would rather a one speed gearbox without the reverse feature.

I still cant decide to whether get the monsoon or avalanche.............arghhhhh its soo annoying.

Thanks for the help,
Daniel
