gear ratios and torque

We get your torque answer, The engines torque out put is a constant. gears don't reduce the engines torque output, gears are multipliers of FORCE aka work, got it. Rusty, you're a page behind on this thread, everyone here has moved on to the physics of how gears and converters can change and effect that work value. So you cant think of a reason for me to know this info, bfd. I'm getting the impression that just because you think that, everybody should. Check the ego.

Also, I never mentioned the engine's torque output. I've always referred to the rear tires in both discussions. You just assumed incorrectly. But again, you can do this without me.
