Final Drive Ratio is the ratio of the ring and pinion in the back (3.91 vs 3.45), or at least that's how I've always been told in terms of that wording.

But you are correct now that I looked it up on the ratio of the transmission gears on the 1LE. I thought they were numerical higher on the 1LE's transmission, but I see now that they are the opposite.
