Default Alpha lower gear question

Are the gears all the same ratio in an Alpha gen two lower half (propshaft) or are there two different ratios depending on power? (2000 and up)

I'm fairly certain that the difference in gearing is done in the upper on an alpha

Lowers are the same for Alpha's as the upper change the gear ratio's. The also have a dog clutch hence why the shift interruptor is needed.
