Your method will work- IF- it has sure grip positraction. ( when one wheeel is turned, the other wheel will turn in the same direction) Make a mark on the driveshaft and count the number of turns it makes to one revolution of the tire. Figger the driveshaft into1/10 increments and it will get you very close to all known ratios that are available. ie : a little over 3 and 2/10 turn of the driveshaft = 3:23 ratio-- 3 and a little over 7/10 turns = 3:73 ratio If you do not have positraction ( tires off the ground and turn in oposite direction to the other tire) I think if you have both tires on the ground , move it straight forward and count your driveshat turns to one tire turn , it will give you the ratio...............................MO

There should be a tag on one of the bolts, if someone hasn't taken it off.You can do it the way you say, but it's hard to get it exact.

I remember I think, that if you jack up the rear, mark the driveline and turn the wheels one full turn, and count how many times the driveshaft turns that will be close to what your ratio is?? Does that sound right? Or is there some other way? I don't want to pull the 3rd member out..Thanks[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
