Ernest,
If it turns counter clockwise it's the 2.17 ( you don't add the one in the
calculations).
If it turns clockwise it's 3.17.
The 2.17 turns counter clockwise.
The 2.85 turns clockwise ( looking at it from the pilots seat)

I ran across some information in one of the scientific newsgroups on how
to calculate the gear ratio of a planetary gear set.
ratio = 1 + r / s
where: r = number of ring gear teeth
s = number of sun gear teeth.
I haven't replace my 3-pinion gear set with a 6-pinion set, because I've
not been able to positively identify it to where I could call out a part
number. Order strange gearset from the internet is not what I consider
an efficient way to spend money. So I went out and counted. 74 teeth
on the ring and 34 on the sun.
1+74/34 = 3.176
That is not the 2.17 OR the 2.85 from the Ford gear sets. Is it
possible that the one isn't added in standard practice, so that what I
actually have is the 2.17 gear set?
