Vit diff gears are 5.12:1 from memory. To calculate reduction multiply your drive line ratios. So for mine, its 3.65 (approx) for 1st gear X 5.14 (tcase low ratio) X 3.7 (diff ratio) = 69.4. Therefore my crawl ratio is 69.4:1 Overall. For a standard zook with 5.14 diffs, it would be approx 40:1, just less than S1 hoppers. Your high range 1st will be 22.51:1 approx with 5.14 diff gears. With crawler gears (say calmini 5.14) high 1st is 19:1 (approx). Does so with crawler gears you will have a slightly taller high ratio, and a much lower low raito ( comparing calmini 5.14 to 5.14 vit diff gears). I have used to calmini cause i have these and am pretty happy with them. S3 hoppers or S4 hoppers, or TT 6.5 Gears will give lower low range without much high range. If you want to drive rock, with 33's i would at least go the 5.14 or lower, as when i had the S1's (till i blew them up) on high traction rock i often wanted a lower gear ( i run 32x11.5 tsl/sx swampers, measure similar to a 33 MT/R). With the calmini gears i rekon the reduction is pretty good, nice slow crawl, but still enough flexibility to go get wheel speed without having to change up constantly.

When I can aford it I'm going these http://www.trailtough.com/transfercase_driveshaft.htm as far as I can work out these are close to spot on for 31's on the bitumen, and nice and low for off road.
add 300 dollars for a transfer rebuild kit. series three is 6.1:1 the trailtough will work out cheaper and does not have the reputation for breakages that any rockhopper made product carries.suzuki boy wrote:Had a quick search and there all pretty much around the $1300 point. BBM has the serires 3 rock hoppers which reduces low by 170%

WT is 3.7:1 ratio. 4.9 would be a non standard ratio. Dunno what vit 1st is, but would give approx 60:1 if you look at it like 3.65 1st gear, 2.1 vit low, 2.1 sierra low and WT 3.7 diff gears. Though plenty of flexibility too. Though unless you can do the work yourself the t-case gears are going to end up cheaper and easier.Klappers wrote:or if you are real tight...vit 5speed with transfer into 1.3l transfer case..gives you somewhere around 100 crawl ratio with WT 4.9's
On the bearing side of the question, for sure get new bearings if you are going to swap gears. Take not theat the calmini kit is not all bearings, just the needle roller bearings. Also fit a new shifter sheet as well (unless yours is brand new already).

The trail tough gear set comes with shift sheet and seals, and the bearing kit from them is only us$89.
Does anyone know what is missing from the trail tough bearing kit, it has 2 less bits than the calmini kit, as I said 1 small bearing or bush, can't make out what it is, and what looks like a circlip.
