5th gear overdrive - Marks Adaptors

Post by GQ Toy »

Has anyone replaced 5th gear with the Marks overdrive gear. http://www.marks4wd.com/products/gearma ... -gears.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I am looking to run 4.6 diffs in a CRD with 33's - becasue that is what I have lying around - but don't want to be running in excess of 3k revs to do 110.
I am very disappointed in the initial take off of the CRD, especially when towing and in heavy conditions so was looking at using the 4.6s to gear down for this. Currently I am running 4.1s and 33's so I am not helping myself much :roll: .
The approx 10% reduction in gearing with the 4.6's would be offset in 5th by the 10% increase with the Marks overdrive.
As I see it I would achieve lower gearing for take off and going through the box but would get back to approx factory setting once in 5th.

I could of course run 35" tyres but that would not help with the initial take off.
