nead lower reduction in the transfer case

Post by crom »

Hi,
I have a patrol 160, 1985-model
I have a 3.3 litres turbo-diesel with ARB in the axles on the car. I need lower gear because the car isn't strong enough with 39" irok to drive in rock crawling.
i nead lower reduction in the transfer case, or some Rockhopper reduction..
wher can i bay it??
Preferably something cheap ?? hope?.
:) :) :)

There are no rockhopper options in the MQ-MK patrol.

The best you can do from Nissan parts is the N/A 5 speed gearbox and the 4.875 diffs from the ute.

Given you've got a 4 litre, the diff ratios on the 4 litre and 4 speed may be taller.


Other than that, you could consider other transfer cases - Landrover would be the best option - get some reduction in high range (1.15 or 1.2:1) to help you in high and 3.3:1 in low is very common.

gears are not available as said, MQ/MK transfercase is not big enough to fit them in ;)

would be a custom adapter between the box and transfer.......
nothing would fit....

either put a whole new gearbox and transfer that has hoppers available in it or an automatic with a transfer that has hoppers...

only 2 ways
