Instead of counting teeth, does it not have the number stamped into the ring gear. That is where I look first, Spin the ring gear and look for the numbers, If it is 43 ring 13 pinion, it will have a number like 43:13 stamped on it. That will end all the cornfusion. find those numbers divide them, and that will be what your ratio is.
