transfer reduction

Post by adrian »

Has the hilux gear transfer case got a lower ratio than the chain case ??or is it the same . Or can you buy gears for the transfer case that lowers the ratio in high 4 as well as low 4 , or do all the gear sets only cater for low range .

There is a slight change in high range and also in reverse for the gear driven only!

4sum4, I've read this 10 times and i have no idea what you are saying!
High range is 1:1 and doesn't change with low range gears.
I have Marks gearmaster gears, 3.74 in low range
Allways been a TOYOTA man.
Now I'm old and grumpy as well.

I have the Marks gears too.
Nice low range reduction without being so low that there is gap between low 4th and high 1st.
Been thinking that duals might be nice though :twisted: .

Rock hoppers do not give a reduction in High Range in a Hilux Transfer case. It is not possible as High range runs straight out the back of the transfer there is no gear set to reduce through. High range in a hilux Transfer no mater what hilux transfer you use is 1:1. You can add any low range reduction set you like but the High range remains at 1:1.

it makes no more sense in a patrol transfer than in a hilux - they drive straight through like a hilux in high range.

if anyone is claiming any ratio change in high range in a straight through high range transfer case, it's a case of "marketing", that is, a "lie"

The 68% Marks gears for my cruiser are overdrive in High range by 1.08 - I think :?

I would have preferred a reduction like the sierras for the bigger tyres :cool:

marks have an underdrive and overdrive high range set for cruisers - what possessed you to go the overdrive?? that would suck on the road with bigger tyres.

Because they are the lower, low range gearset (68%) :cool:

To tell the truth, with the 4 speed it is not too bad on the road. Runs about 2400 rpm @ 100kph.

The 4.1s and the V8 push the 38s along quite nicely. In fact it launches quite hard for a big rig :twisted:

if you have the lower low range gearset then you have 8% UNDERdrive in high range; launch and be happy.

the overdrive high range gears have the higher low range.

ausyota how much was supply and fit? and how much reduction do you get in first... does it give the ratios as if 3rd low range became 5th low range.
