Gear Ratio Chart

Upper Ratio Teeth Underdrive Overdrive

Select a chart row to use that upper gear ratio. Overdrive is available only where shown in the original SCS chart.

Transfer Case, MPH & Overall Driveline Calculator

Combined Transfer Case Ratio
1.000:1
Overall Driveline Ratio
--:1
Estimated Vehicle Speed
-- MPH

Underdrive: Lower Gear Ratio × Upper Gear Ratio. Overdrive: Lower Gear Ratio ÷ Upper Gear Ratio.

Overall Driveline Ratio: Transmission Ratio × Transfer Case Ratio × Rear Axle / Differential Ratio.

MPH estimates assume direct mechanical gearing without accounting for tire growth, drivetrain slip, or other losses. Confirm gear compatibility with SCS Gearbox before ordering.

Quick-Change Ratio Teeth Combined Case Ratio

Under Drive: Lower Ratio × Quick-Change Ratio. Overdrive: Lower Ratio ÷ Quick-Change Ratio. Overall Ratio: Transfer Case Ratio × Rear End Ratio × Transmission Ratio. Estimated MPH: Engine RPM × Tire Diameter ÷ (Overall Drivetrain Ratio × 336). MPH estimates do not account for tire growth, drivetrain slip, or other mechanical losses. Verify gear compatibility with SCS Gearbox before ordering.

Twin & Single Counter Shaft Gear Calculator

Calculate overall drivetrain gear ratios for SCS Gearbox 20, 30, and 40 Series and Twin Countershaft Transmissions. Enter your planetary and rear-end ratios, then select your headset and quick-change gear sets to determine your overall two-wheel-drive gear ratio.

Calculated Overall Gear Ratio
-- :1
Headset Effective Ratio: --:1
Quick Change Effective Ratio: --:1

2-Wheel Drive Formula: Planetary Ratio × Rear-End Ratio × Effective Headset Ratio × Effective Quick-Change Ratio = Overall Gear Ratio.

For overdrive gearing, the selected ratio is applied as its reciprocal. Gear set tooth counts and ID numbers are based on the supplied SCS Gearbox quick-change spur gear charts. Some gear models may have limited availability. Verify gear compatibility with SCS Gearbox before ordering.
