The 9 tooth pinion for a 3.89 ratio and the 9 tooth pinion for the 3.55
ratio are not the same gear.  Once I tried to use a 9 tooth pinion with a 36
tooth ring to get a 4:1 ratio.  I quickly found out they don't mesh properly
and it won't work.  The strongest pinion is the 11 tooth and the weakest
pinion is the 3.89 ratio 9 tooth as it is very small.  If longevity means
anything to you use the 3.55 ratio gears or the 3.27 ratio.
