Fairey type overdrive for patrol

[Stropp]

I know you can get them for early 4 speed patrols but cant seem to find any info on later model 5 speed ones, can anyone help?? it would be an easy way to swap between 33 to 35's without doing the diffs.

What ratio is your 5th gear now? Nissan updated all GU Patrols as of 08/2004 with a longer spline main shaft and 5th gear according to Marks 4wd

Would this achieve what your after? http://www.marks4wd.com/mfk730.html

Yeh I have the 11/04 model but I was chasing the lower gearing the fairey type gives you as it gives you a half gear which would be great with the 35's

Fairley were vacuum operated weren't they,
from memory the early Patrol OD was a mechanical lever on the floor

another stick 3D, i was very interested in one back in the early 80's for my "other" 4wd.

Stretching the memory but I'm sure it was just a lever to engage/dis-engage.
Mates Rangie had the vacuum diff loc when we went to the Cape in '83
some 60s had them too I think

One of my mate's had one on a series 3 landy , separate stick to give it 5th gear on the hwy

No this is a seperate stick to give you a split gearbox so a 1/2 gear between each gear nothing to do with the diff

just put a 18 speed road ranger in with tall diffs
