[HTi]Johnson Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I was thinking today, I have a 4psd d/r range tranny in my car, I looked at the rear diff and it has a 3.7 ratio sticker on it. Is it supposed to be 3.7 or 3.9, for that tranny? Before, I had the Auto tranny in it, and in 4wd at 45mph i would get a humming from the rear. It doesn't do it now...with the 4psd in there...maybe that's why the automatic died? Thanks. [HTi]Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 The correct rear diff for a d/r 4speed is a 3.9 and the correct rear diff for a EA81 4wd Auto is a 3.7; you may have a misslabled rear diff if you're not binding with the current setup.

[HTi]Johnson Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 What do you mean by not binding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 In 4wd your rear wheels are trying to pass the fronts if you have a D/R and a 3.7 diff You'd probably hear your drivetrain trying to compensate for the difference in speed. Churping rear wheels? You may be able to jack the car up and see if the front and rear wheel move the same speed in 4wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised something hasn't busted yet.... garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
