Diff Ratio

Post by n_dorphin »

Trying to find out diff ratio in my 89 import Pajero swb. 2.5TD.
Any body know what it is?
I have a aussie LSD centre and trying to see if it would fit.

I would say it would be a 4.875.
But some of these did came out with 5.29's.
There should be a compliance plate under the bonnet or on the firewall saying what transmission and diff ratio it has.
Look for 4.875 or 5.285.
I just luv my "clacker Jabber"

You should also find that the diff is already LSD?
I don't know the quick way of telling (susposed to be a yellow/ orange sticker on the drivers door jam?) but this wasn't on mine I'm just assuming mine also has the LSD.
Further help would be good. (apart from jacking up the wheels and rotating the wheels.

Cheers

Mate I'll swap.
I have the 4.875 with a auto box and 2.5ITD with 33"s and around town I leave the overdrive off. It just dosn't seem to have any grunt. always dropping back.
I would rather have it reving a bit high than reving high in a lower gear and have a gear unused.
On the highway its not too bad but if it sniffs a hill it drops back to 3rd and runs at 3000rpm (or higher) especially bad with the cruise control set as it cannot anticipate.

If your still interested in the swap please let me know...... :cool:

Mine sits on about 3000rpm @ 100kph by the speedo. Allthough all my mates keep saying that im going at least 10ks ova the limit, I have the 3l v6 and 5 speed manual.
Jabber gone. Now have 98 nissan terrano and a 94 4.2ldiesel rv troopy on 33s slowly getting the fancy bits. How the hell do I change my user name?

With 33" tyres it's likely you are running about 10% faster than indicated. Watch out for the men with the funny hats...

I'm pretty sure I can fix that with a tool kit and a couple of hours work. You will end up with twin lockers and 4.875 diffs and I will end up with 5.29's (and if memory serves me correctly a rear locker).

Everyones a winner as far as I can see. :armsup:
