4 Speed vs 5 Speed

Post by bubs »

Ok, for a trail rig, i really have no need for a 5th gear i think?

anyway, i have a 4 speed here now, just how much weaked is a petrol 4 speed compared to a G52

or do i save up the extra $'s and track down a G52?

What 4 speed do you have? I`m pretty sure the G40 and the G52 are closely the same except 5th gear.Don`t no about the ratios .The G52`s first gear ratio is 3.928:1 if thats any help.

might be wrong but i thinks the 4speed is a stronger box!

for trail rig go the 4 speed. im still using the 4 speed with 308, can handle if not thrashing but need an overdrive for highway!!

find out which 4 speed it is. the G40 is quite similar in construction to the G52 and plenty strong enough for a trail box especially if you're putting lower ratio diffs and/or crawler gears behind it - you're only likely to bust a gearbox when the gearing further down the line is inadequate (eg 38's with stock gears)
