    What is my Gear ratio?

    What is the gear ratio on my car.

    2000 C230 kompressor

    Can't find it on the net

    Dynapack dyno needs this info and I think that's what made my output so low.. it was setted at 5.137.. I know it's around 3...

    come on, someone MUST have this info or tell me where to get this.

    also, is it the same ratio for every speed or different from 1st to 5th?

    Let's see if someone can find an old copy of road and track that did a review or comparison.

    I'd love to see what they thought of the C280/C230k in 1999.

    Lol.........no way is the same for each gears. Why do you think there are 5 gears? Manual and automatic also have difference gear ratio too even on the same engine/car. I think it in your user's maunal.

    I'm looking for that

    let's see if 5.137 is near the truth for 3rd gear That's what the guy put in the dyno program

    it's not in the manual, well not the one in my glovebox.

    I have to check if it's in the WIS (that I can't get to work) or in the EPC

    I need to find this info for 3rd gear.
