Exclamation Gear Ratio Chart: Help me find out the ratios!

OK, Well I forget where I found this, but anyways. It's a gear ratio calculator for speed and such. I added 6th gear for the hell of it, and am adding ratios for more and more cars. I want to make it so you can click a button and have the ratios for whatever car brought up.
It's pretty cool

Code:
Reference Data															
Model	1st Generation RX-7					2nd Generation RX-7						3rd Generation RX-7		Miata	626 RWD
Gear Ratios	RX-7	RX-7 12A		RX-7 13B		NA				Turbo II		TT		Miata	
	79-83	1984	1985	1984	1985	86-88	88 con	89-91	89 GTUs	87-88	89-91	93-95		90-97	79-82
1st Gear	3.674	3.622	3.622	3.622	3.622	3.475	3.475	3.475	3.475	3.483	3.483	3.483		3.136	3.214
2nd Gear	2.217	2.186	2.186	2.186	2.186	2.002	2.002	2.002	2.002	2.015	2.015	2.015		1.888	1.818
3rd Gear	1.432	1.419	1.419	1.419	1.419	1.366	1.366	1.366	1.366	1.391	1.391	1.391		1.330	1.296
4th Gear	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000	1.000		1.000	1.000
5th Gear	0.825	0.758	0.807	0.807	0.711	0.711	0.711	0.697	0.756	0.762	0.756	0.719		0.814	0.860
Reverse						3.493	3.493	3.493	3.493	3.288	3.288				
Final Drive					4.1	3.909	4.1	4.3	4.1	4.1	4.1
The formatting is a little off but it looks great in Excel. I would love if anyone could fill in the gears I don't have, like reverse and final drive, or if you know gear ratios for any other cars that might have an interest (HKS dog boxs, MK3 MK4 supras, mr2, celica, different types of miatas, skyline, etc etc, mainly japanese sports cars, cosmos would be good too, along with auto gear ratios)

btw, why do i have both 84 and 85 13Bs in FBs?
I thought it was only 13B in GSL-SE which was 85.
I didn't put the first of the chart together

FYI, sheet 1 cells K8 and K34 are incorrect. Also your second case on sheet 1 is using case A's gears and tire size.

Nice job Node.
I had done something like yours in excel.
I think you have done a better job.

Since then I have been working on this HTML script.
It was set up for 1986 & later RX7s:

I heard that on of the Ford Probes had closer gears.
Does anyone have these ratios?

The 93-97 Probe GT has the same 1-5 ratios but a different final (4.388) to compensate for larger tires (225/50R16). It works out to almost identical gearing.
