Zeky Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Please please, have no idea what DUAL RANGE mean..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Please please, have no idea what DUAL RANGE mean..... Dual range means that there is a transmission 'add-on' with a set of low and high gears. Usual driving is in high range. When you need lots of torque and low speed, you choose the low range. Very handy for off-road, towing up hills, stump pulling, etc. Most desirable, and most unavailable to us poor 'consumers' in the US. ($&^$@%$**) SOA anyhow!

mtsmiths Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Is Missoula a pretty nice place to live/raise a family? I've applied for a job out there. Never been. Doubt I'll be lucky enough to get it, but you never know... Missoula is a nice city (town by most states standards). Home of Univ. of Montana (a college that has a town). Liberal, lot's of culture and outdoorsey stuff to do. The Eugene of Montana. Very low crime and drug rates, gangs non-existant. Gangs don't do well in Montana ('cept on the Rez(s), random threats to ordinary folks in Montana can get one shot ... on the spot. Water and air quality are good ... 'cept when there's an inversion, then the paper mill west of towwn stinks up the whole place. A river runs through it, actually two rivers, with a confluence right in town. Got a great carosel, that all the folks in town carved special horses. Not as nice as Whitefish, but nice. We lived there for seven months when we moved from Hawaii, then north to Whitefish, where we've been eight years. Lot'sa Subarus, mostly daily drivers in Montana, not many enthusiasts.

Setright Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 You what? No Dual Range in the US of A? Over here, if it's a manual tranny station wagon, Dual Range is standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester_Ranger Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 yep no dual range in a US models since I think '89. But I don't think those euro and aussie spec dual-ranges are anything to get excited about. They only have a 1.196:1 low-range. I have a 1.52:1 ea82 dual-range with front and rear LSD installed in my 98 Forester now. I don't see SOA ever offering Low-ranges again since most americans never use SUV's off-road.

Lukas Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 The Dual Range is not only for off road use. We use it here on road for better torque and more gears when you are going uphill. Its fun to kick the 3LO in at the end of a village and the car has better power when you want to take somebody over an a country road. The Dual Range is also very good for towing trailers. The clutch will thank you;)!
