Reduction Gears

[macca]

Kallens done a great job of explaining.

I fitted the 43%?? to my manual 4.2, the difference is incredible. Sometimes getting moving in low one was a challenge, no longer.

The mates in cruisers were heading up hills in low two where as I was always in low one, I had no other options so the clutch copped a beating. Decent is more controlled as well.

Reverse is lower too which is a pain at times but not really too much.

Basically the low range half of the box got shifted one gear, two became the old one, three became the old two etc. Most importantly 1 became a lower and much more useful gear.

A whine comes with the gearing upgrade but that's normal and only really noticeable in low four / five.

Hope that makes sense.
