chazmataz Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 from my understanding there are 2 different ratios for the low range in dual range transmission. so my question is: is there a way to tell from the outside what ratio the transmission has (i.e. outside markings or tags)?

85Sub4WD Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 The regular D/R 5-speed on N/A cars have the same running gear - if the rear diff is 3.9:1 - you have the lower low range. Turbo cars are the only oddballs - the ones that had a low range (I think it was only the RX - but I may be wrong) have a different gearing setup, and a higher low range - I think that includes MPFI N/A cars too. Sorry, don't know about external tags - but the turbo MT trannies all have 25 spline front axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazmataz Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 thanks. i just had to replace my d/r trnas with one from a wrecking yard and i was just curious if there was a way to check without tearing it apart, such as markins, tags or something else. can't quite tell if it is the same by driving it.

bushbasher Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 if it was out of a non-turbo car it will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Ill take a stab at this: 4High = 1:1 ratio 4Low = 1.4:1 ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
