Motive Gear pinion way smaller that factory? Is this normal?
I figured id check with you guys before I waste time. Just want to make sure someone didn't send me the wrong gears in the right box. The width of the pinion is the same but the teeth seem so much smaller. Take a look.

Well my factory gear ratio is 3.42 and the new ones are 4.56 but it just seemed really strange that the teeth were so much smaller. Its probably normal but this is my first time doing this so just checking.

If in doubt count the teeth, then divide the ring gear by the pinion... The Numerically lower ratio the thicker the ring gear gets,smaller the pinion gets.... There was a pretty big difference between 3.73 and 4.10 in my ifs front...could only imagine what the 4.56 would look like!!!
