Divide the number of teeth on the ring gear by the number of teeth on the pinion. Clean the gears with carb .cleaner and mark a starting tooth with a white china marker.

12 is the # of teeth on the pinion 41 is the # of teeth on the ring, divide them it comes to 3.416666 or round to 3.42; that is your ratio
