I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly or wrong or if some previous owner swapped out the rear gears. I've been trying to determine the rear axle ratio on my 1998 GT. I raised the rear wheels off the ground marked the drive axle and the outside of the rear wheel rim. I rotated the rear wheel one complete turn and watched the axle for the number of rotations and the axle only rotated 1 and a little past 3/4 turns for one complete rotation of the wheel. I did this at least 5 times making new marks each time to see if something is wrong. If my calculations are correct. My rear axle is only about 1.90, is this correct or am I doing something wrong. The axle code on the door is ME but this does not even come close to my calculations. No wonder I can barely brake the tires free.
