Andyjo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Was the dual range only a 4 speed? or was there a 5 speed D/R, besides the foriegn one.... seems like a 5 speed would be much more enjoyable for highway driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85Sub4WD Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 yep - and if you look in the USRM under transmission secton - you can find info on converting from the 4-speed D/R to the 5-speed D/R - 5-speed is advantageous if you do highway driving, because it has overdrive - and pretty much the same ratios as the 4-speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 5-speeds there are indeed. I have one on my deck. w00t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, according to Miles Fox, the 4spd D/R's 4th gear is overdrive: http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/service/ratio.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I thought I read somewhere that the countergears that run the transmission output have a reduction that pretty much cancels out the overdrive effect of fourth gear, and then some, making the effective range something like 1.05 to 1.
