DOH! I knew I should have proof read before I posted.
So the gears in the 518 trans cycles one time to turn the drive shaft 2.45
times which turns the axle 8.70 times
And the 500 trans cycles once to turn the drive shaft 2.74 times and so forth.
Assuming my correlation of the trans gear ratio is right.

1rev.->2.45 revs.->8.7 revs.
1rev->2.74revs->9.73revs
or
2.45 revs->1 rev.->3.55revs.
2.74 revs->1 rev ->3.55revs
I'm just confusing myself now (see how easy it is).
