Speedometer wegstreckenzahl for 3.92 rear axle?
« on: September 10, 2021, 09:45:36 »
I found an old thread, telling that: "the getrag 265 has a Wegstreckenzahl of about 756, the 230SL manual 4 speed transmission G72 has 869, but 892 in fact."
Does anybody know which axle ratio is this W=869 referring to?

Hi,

- 4,08  rear axle : 945 revs or W=0,945
- 3,92  rear axle : 908 revs or W=0,908
- 3,75  rear axle : 869 revs or W=0,869
- 3,69  rear axle : 855 revs or W=0,855
- 3,46  rear axle : 801 revs or W=0,801
