I am running Nissan rear wheel drives. There is very little info out there to show what the various gear ratios are in the trans. Can anyone give me a heads up on how to try and figure out what i have? I have four diff trans. I have heard in the past that you turn the input so many times and count the output or something. Anyone?

Count the number of turns of the input shaft to turn the output shaft one turn.

there were a couple ratios used.
88-95 2wd trans for the z24 and ka24;
1st 3.32
2nd 1.90
3rd 1.31
the 4sp trans had the same ratios as the 2wd 5sp except for no 5th. the 4sp is also lighter then the 5sp.

4x4 trans for the z24 and ka24;
1st 3.59 or 3.99
2nd 2.25 both
3rd 1.42 both
this is for the fs5w71c 5sp and the f4w71c 4sp.
hope this helps.
