Overbear

W56 house with a R156 supra gearset in it, on a dual marlin setup. I can put it in first, lo, lo, and walk up a hill and sit and wait for the truck to come up to me

oh yeah?

well. well... well... i'll see your 175:1 crawl ratio (i think that's your final gear rati), if and when i can manually lockup the torque converter, doubles it even further to just a smidgen around 300:1...

lol....

Crawler gear ratios. The lower you can get the numbers, the slower it goes, so as a example, Marlin has a triple case in his truck, with 2 4:1 sets and one 2:1 set.

When he puts his truck in 1st gear, and sets all three cases into low. It takes 1049 revolutions of the motor to turn the tire one revolution, or 1049:1. Now, compare this to your subie, in 5th gear you are at about 1:1, and in 1st gear your around 30:1.

So in our marlin example, if we figure a 37" tire moves the truck forward about 5 feet every revolution. It would take the truck at idle, over a full minute to move forward 5 feet. However this gearing has the affect of increasing the torque applied to the tires exponentially.
