Transmission

The tranny is a 3.51 gear ratio (or at least should be!) out of a Pick n Pull Suzuki (stock is 4.11). Based on the fact that I have to downshift to maintain speed while going uphill, I am pretty tempted to think that that's the gearing. Is there any labeling on the tranny that would confirm? I guess I could pull a plug at TDC and check wheel rotations, the old-fashioned way.
