domator Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I would like to know if reduction ratios in D/R gearbox (88 wagon) depends on what kind of gearbox it is (normal -1.59; ft4wd - 1.19) or if it is turboed (turbo - 1.19; N/A - 1.59). Mine is turbo AND ft4wd so I have awsome 1.19 but I want to change it so I need to know what should I look for to get 1.59.... Piotr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 the RX full time dual range 5spd has a taller gear, dont know what it is off hand but its taller than 4wd part time 5spds. somewhere there isd a chart, browse the search for "ratio" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 But you will be dealing with the 3.70 ratio diffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domator Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 Sure - I will change rear diff if necessary. The point is I need to know what should I look for - non turbo wagon or non FT4wd wagon to get 1.59 ratio..... Piotr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 look for any 5spd dual range. the 5spd never came with the turbo, and autos dont have low range the 5spd has the lowest gear reduction, and 3.9 final drive the 85-86 i think have the lowest reduction gear...

Skip Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I believe Donald missed a word. He says'the 5spd never came with the turbo" What he should have said is it never came with a dual range 5 speed, except in the RX which was really a 10 speed as it can be shifted high to low range at any speed. But the low is not as low as it is in a dual range, only about a half gear, this designed more for rallying than for off road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 yeah, i was referring to the dual range. the exception is the dual range RX trans, 3.7 full-time, but that would be referred to as the RX trans. then there are 5spd pushbutton, single range, both turbo and non turbo so 5spd dual range refers to all the 3.9 that did not come with a turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
