overdrive Q,s
Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 7:27 pm
I used to have a fairy overdrive fitted to my 3.5 but I was told that they aren,t that strong so I took it off before fitting 4.6.
The sign that was fitted to the centre console said use in 3rd and 4th gears in high range only
My question is if your motor puts out x torque your gear box multiplies this
it is then passed through the overdrive box then to transfer gears and so on.
Why would you not be able to use it in low range as the in put and output is the same, unless it gets feedback load from the transfer gears
I wouldn,t mind splitting gears again.
