4.11 Gr Xt6

Legacy 4.11 Gear Ratio

Subaru XT6

 

i think i asked this before.

i couldnt find the old post.

 

if i did this what would the benefit be ?

[idosubaru]

you have your car listed for sale and trade here and other places??? this isn't something you're going to do?

 

4.11 just refers to the final drive ratio.....it would probably be easier to just get lower profile tires to reduce your gearing rather than go through a complicated trans/diff swap that isn't straight forward.

 

a lower ratio will "theoretically" give you better acceleration off the line but lower top speeds....depending on many other things of course.

 

if you get 4.11 gears and bigger wheels you'll probably end up exactly where you are now.

by searching for posts started by you in this section, I found this:

now see i didnt know i can search posts by a member.

 

Nobody will give me a decent price for what all i got in it. so no i might not have him sold.

after this and nobody gives me a decent price. i'll give up and keep it.

 

and i hate to throw more money in it. i already have more in it than its worth.

yet still needs clutch and tires. and this just in. need of valve cover gaskets. that were my oil is leaking out.

loses a little. not much i cant deal with but would be nice to have it fixed.

[idosubaru]

can't get much easier than valve covers. 30 minutes tops and a few dollars for gaskets.

You will always have more in a car than it's worth. The guy who drive it off the lot brand new has "more in it" than it's worth when he drives it off the lot.

 

I don't understand thoe who think that the money they spend on the car is what it's worth.

 

It doesn't work that way, as you use the car, you must pay for the cost of keeping it operating. Think of it as renting the car from yourself. The more time you drive it, or just own it in some cases, the more rent you have to pay for it's use.

 

The only way to make money off a car is to buy it at a rediculously low price, fix the problems yourself, and sell it right away Otherwise, it will depreciate from time and use. And you will inevitably have to pay "the rent"

I Never Thaught of it that way.

you just showed me the Light dude.

If you know anyone one with an Rx with the AWD D/R tranny.. have them give you a ride... Its a stock 3.7 gear ration, but in low it should feel like a 4.44 or so IIRC... but it's really hard to tell the difference...

[SubaruJawn]

what if i make my xt6 3.7 Gear Ratio ?

[idosubaru]

what if i make my xt6 3.7 Gear Ratio ?

no. it's not worth it.

[SubaruJawn]

no. it's not worth it.

So keeping my Gear Ratio is best ?

 

is their anychange worth the hassle ?

[idosubaru]

your questions are too generic and impractical.

So keeping my Gear Ratio is best ?

"best"....that's ambiguous. but yes it's best for you. "best" depends how you define it? only the owner can make that decision. but based on what i know about you, you shouldn't be messing with your transmission.

 

you need to read up all the threads you can about transmissions and...well anything subaru. you spend enough time on the boards that you can do that. and you need to get an FSM - Factory Service Manual. you ask questions about front diff swapping and engine transplants like it's easier than changing your oil!!!

 

is their anychange worth the hassle ?

a honda or neon, or something else with more after market support. your question is too ambiguous. it would be good for you to decide what you're trying to do and read as much as you can. once you understand things better you can ask better and more specific questions so we can actually help you. as it is you've asked dozens of questions about things you are not going to do.

 

first you wanted a higher ratio (4.11 is the title of this thread)...and now you want to go to a lower ratio (you just asked about 3.7??)??????? it's hard for us to figure out what you're trying to do.

 

but if you wanted the 3.7 the easy way to do that is to find a FT4WD EA82 Turbo transmission - like out of an XT Turbo or RX. those both have 3.7 final drives and bolt right up to your XT6. that's the only easy transmission swap that gives you a gear ratio change.

 

if you're concerned about all this gear changing though - just get different size wheels. a 15" or 16" wheel changes your gear ratio too (essentially lowering your final drive). that's far easier than a transmission swap. and if you can't afford the wheels or tires to do that then trying to swap transmissions is a bad idea.
