I think the highest gearing option was on the early Fiesta and Escort diesels. But later on (after around 1986) they changed to almost standard ratios on the diesels. It seems to be impossible to tell from the outside of the box exactly what the ratios are (even from the metal tag) unless you sit there turning the input shaft, lock one output shaft and and count the turns on the other one. Or take the gearbox apart and count the teeth on the gears. BTDT
