October 6, 201114 yr i was googling and found this very awesome dual range transfercase. its full time 4 hi with the locking center diff switch, but also has a low range. i want to get ahold of one of these.
October 6, 201114 yr If I'm not mistaken, the XT6 has this too? No, the XT6 does not have a D/R in it, just fulltime 4wd. Fulltime D/R didnt come out till 88 in the RX 3dr and 4dr.
October 7, 201114 yr Some wagons also had them but it was rare. It's a standard 5MT D/R with a locking center diff. The low range is only 1.2:1 and the final drive is 3.7:1 so effectively if you put them in low-range they have the same gearing as a "normal" 1.59:1/3.9 D/R has when in high range. So pretty useless except on a very small range of builds (lower end of the performance spectrum and with a "street" setup) or as a platform for building special transmissions using parts from a normal D/R and the XT6 R&P to get a 3.9 final and 1.59:1 low w/locking center. GD
October 7, 201114 yr That's some good info. Wasn't aware of the difference in gearing.... guess I can stop lusting for one of those and just be happy with my D/R in the wagon :-p
