Interceptor2k Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I have a 92 wagon that I want to lift 2", an put on slightly bigger tires. No true wheeling in mind, just xtra clearance for the trails.... Question is - I would like to lower the gear ratio without going to a manual w/ lo-range. Is it possible (easily) to change the final drive of the tranny? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I am assuming this is a 3-speed automatic? If so, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor2k Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 I am assuming this is a 3-speed automatic? If so, no. Yes - 3 spd auto. I was hoping that I could pull the tranny apart and put in a different final drive gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 You know...an auto may be just the thing for compensating for the larger tires. If you don't abuse the auto too much it can function as a variable low range? How big of tires are you thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big of tires are you thinking? Not sure what is offered in 13's. Stock size is 185/70-13. My ride currently has some cheap 165-R13, no aspect ratio called out, they're metric. I was thinking something like 175/80-13. That gives me about an extra 3/8" ground clearance over stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
