Reduction Gears

[Ben-e-boy]

I was not suggesting Diff gears would be comparable to transfer gears by any means though Bene. As per your maths there is a massive difference.

So the big question is How Much reduction does Kat really need. That's the point I am making I suppose. Winnie stated he can go down Billy goats with hardly any braking. The odd tap and that's enough, low first holds well. I bet he has 4.1 diff gears and it gets the job done.

If Kat has 3.9s and is chasing her brakes down the same hill then she may really only need a sublte change to achieve her aim. Going to 4.3s will give her what she is chasing. No it still won't be as low as the 60 but should crawl pretty well down Billy Goats. The bonus would be the extra torque in hi range for when towing.

If you can pick up a pair of 4.3s for $600 or so and Steve throws them in for the win I think your next trip up and down Billy Goats would be very different.

That took me over an hour to write that post so it wasnt really a repky for anything recent.. For reduction gears the 43% will be basically on par with a cruiser.

As for diff gears just get the equivelent of a stock final drive ratio with the bigger tyres. So 3.9 stock with 33s just take it up th 4.11
