I was getting tired of crunching numbers while looking up various Vanagon
transmission ratios, so I put together an Excel spreadsheet which allows me to
compare some of the choices available, adjust for tire size, input custom gearing,
and show results at various RPM in metric or imperial.

It's nothing groundbreaking that hasn't been done already by Derek Drew and others,
but I added metric units, and a quick comparison of the transmissions at a given
RPM as well, which I found useful.

The file can be downloaded here:

Comments, corrections, or suggestions welcome.

ps: The transmissions chosen are based on suitability for my diesel conversion, so if
your favourite choice isn't listed, just put in the values in the Custom row.
