    1st - 3.337
    2nd - 1.995
    3rd - 1.418
    4th - 1.00

    Check this article out:

    http://www.c5martin.co.uk/marlin/Ber...0Gearboxes.pdf

    It confirms my understanding that it is a stronger box with closer ratios. Definitely worth a read.

    It refers to the 1300GT box on page 1 in column 3.

    Also on page 4 it shows the gear ratios. The 1300GT box is the 4th one from the bottom on this page.
