What is the gearing in a second gear tranny? What gear ratio are you running in yours Larry? Just curious what the gear sets are that give it this second gear to run in and how does it compare to a stock 3 rib second gear ratio? Just wondering if anyone can answer this for me.Chad

I have heard 5.42rp and some where a round 2.46 2nd ? ? with 2500cc . Larry ???
That's right, Hyde
Dink, I aint trying to argue with these other folks opinions. Maybe it works for them.
But if you wanna climb bad stuff
from a stand still, a 2332 aint gonna pull a 2nd gear thats GEARED LIKE MINE. And if you build a 2nd gear that a 2332 will pull, you gain nothing. The only reason they came up with the "2nd gear " thing was because that was the only route to the final ratio desired in a strong package. Doesnt matter what gear your shifter is sitting in, just matters that the buggy does what you need it to do.
Chuck says Weddle is out of our r&p in "excellent" grade (they did have a few of what they are calling "good", but no "excellents" ) and has been for a while, and say they probably wont get any no time soon so you might not have a decision to make anyways, availability may decide for you. They got a 5.50, but they say its a little weaker, has one less tooth on the pinion gear.
A 3.33 first and stock 6rib r&p WILL make you and your 2332 2seater happy, if it weighs less than 1500 lbs. or so and you run 31s.
