final drive ratios on xt6's

Featured Replies

Hey, I believe I have a :dead: little gear that powers my speedometer cable. I have a 1988 xt6 4eat. I also have a parts car; a 1988-9 xt6 2wd. What are my final drive ratios? I'd really like to know if I can swap the little innards so my speedometer works right again. Anyone know xt6 final drives?

Thanks--

yep thats it, mike your new avatar is scaring me

All autos are the same then? I may just yank out the little tranny speedo assembly tomorrow then, and put it in my driver if it passes visual inspection... thanks for the info!

I am beginning to agree..the face overfills the frame. that camera needs to take a step outta your "personal space"

Its supposed to be that way. The original full sized picture is quite horrific.

What about on a standard XT 4cyl? would the 4EAT from a 4cyl. have 3.700 final drive?

Yes, all the autos are 3.7

 

O.K. but would a 4cyl XT have a 4eat or the old 3spd. A '90 XT specifically 4wd

A 90 XT? Do you have the last 8 of the VIN handy? I wanna check and be sure it's a 90 XT, because if it is, it will be the ONLY 1990 XT that I know of. I've never seen any 90 XT, online, in person, anywhere.

 

For everyone's knowledge, NO 1990 XT6s were made, and a VERY small number of 1990 XT 4cyls were made.

 

If it's a 90, then it's 4EAT but FWD only according to the brochures.

Listing for my prospective tranny is for 89-91 XT 4cyl. The shop say's it is brand new, crated from subaru dealer, 4spd, AWD. Does this seem right? If it's what they say it should fit into my GL Turbo AWD.

If it's a 4EAT AWD, then it's from an 88 or an 89. My brochures say that 90 and 91 XTs were FWD only, regardless of MT or AT.

 

Yeah, it will fit though. If your GL Turbo has a 4EAT (it's Fulltime 4WD right?) then yes it should bolt and plug in.
