Their debut release was Declaration of Conformity, released in 1997 on the Third Gear label. Bobby Unser would stay out and nurse his car to a 5th-place in third gear. It was released on June 17, 1997, through Third Gear Records. Carlos Pace had handling problems and dropped down the order when he lost third gear. The third gear in the picture has 42 teeth. All transmissions have a third gear ratio of 1.38&colon;1. The A35's ratios are better spaced and give a higher speed in third gear. The direct-drive ratio then becomes the second-to-top or third gear. George admired the track as "compassionate yet unpretentious, cruising chunkily in third gear". The performance of the new third gear in the new four-speed gearbox was much admired. During the race, Guerrero had also broken third gear. Third gear is always direct drive (1&colon;1). Third gear was direct, meaning the input and output are equal speeds. There is a third gear in the upper-right corner of the photo.
