Gear ratios

Post by Dalluke »

Hey guys I have a 3.0L V6 1991 Pajero just wondering if there are any swaps i can do with gear ratios to improve offroad ability with larger tyres... I know the 3.5 can swap with the 2.8 diesel ratios can the 3.0L do the same???

Have a hunt around in the Tech database.

If you have a LWB, you probably have 4.675 diffs. The SWB :D has 4.875 diffs, base model N/A diesels (from memory) have 5.29 diffs.

However, 5.29 diff ratios are hard to find, and not compatible with available lockers.

Later model (3.5 / 2.8) have similar ratios, but the rear diff is larger. Front diff may be the same if you have a manual gearbox. If you have the auto, your front diff is smaller.

Ahh so that's where it tells me. (trans axle code)

Will have a look. Its annoying me because I am sure i have seen it somewhere ... perhaps it was on another vehicle I was looking at.
