Gears do not change the amount of torque being applied to the ground. They can move peak torque lower in the RPM band, but the actual torque reading will be the same no matter the gearset is. If that is what you are referring to, then yes you are correct, but in terms of actually adding to the peak torque output, that is not correct.
