Mercedes manual transmission S6-65 (718.441)

Good day guys,
the S6-65 gearbox is a 6-speed manual. I am looking for the gear ratios for this type of gearbox. Anyone can assist please?

The S6-65 is a ZF product, used ~2 decades ago in Ford and GM pickups and other applications. ZF has a downloadable catalog of all its products.
Perhaps if you were to use Google a bit, you might find something using the actual MB designations: G56 & G85.
Edit: the versions of the ZF S6-65 used in American light trucks have different gear ratios than the version(s) in the ZF catalog. In my catalog the S6-650 is superseded by the S6-700. But all have overdrive 6th gear.

It comes in different flavours
and a lot that was used in trucks are 1:1 in 6th.

Looks like most end on 1:1 which defeats the purpose of my exercise to get something with an overdrive.
Thanx for the feedback

It would be nice to fill the horrible gap between 3rd and 4th. I Could never understand MBs choice of a 5 speed for these trucks.
