gearbox gear

Hey fellows what does a reduction gearbox clutch do? It sounds to me that it would slow ure rig down???

Basically halves output rpm as opposed to engine rpm. If engine at 3600, output shaft at 1800.

Not always, it can have any ratio, it COULD be 1:2 ratio, but it could also be 1:3, or 1:4

yes but with the same unit, if you can switch the gears around, you can step up your engines output yielding higher speeds
