hope this helps!!!!!
You can do the following and get a close idea as to what you have. I know there is another way but i don't know how to do that way......
Make a mark at a certain spot on your ring gear and a mark on the yolk of the 3rd member. Turn the yolk of the 3rd member till the mark on the ring gear go around exactly one time. When turning the yolk keep track of how many times it goes around. For example if you turn the yolk about 4 and a half times by the time the ring gear makes a full turn the you have probably 4.56 gears.
I know this is the cheesey easy way of doing it but it will give you a close i dea as to what you got.
If the gears are still in the rearend the do it the same way but make a mark on the tire and on the driveshaft and make one full turn with the tire.
Well hopefully this helps ya out some!

if im wrong call me stupid but---
take some chalk and mark a tooth on the ring. count how many teeth.(the mark is so you wont lose count) do the same on the other. then divide the big number by the little number and that should be real close.
like i said i think thats right----but i have made a mistake once or twice before.
try it on some gears that you know the ratio---see if it works
let me know.
