Gear ratios on facelift A45
Hi,

Can anybody help me with the gear ratios for the new A45? The Merc website has the following but I can't understand why they do not run in descending order:

1st Gear 3.86
2nd Gear 2.43
3rd Gear 2.90
4th Gear 1.19
5th Gear 0.87
6th Gear 1.16
7th Gear 0.94
1st reverse gear 3.10
Final-drive ratio 4.13

Even if they did, it suggests there are gears at 1.19 and 1.16!?

What am I missing?

Nobody know? Does it have different drive ratios for different gears or something?
