Hi guys,
I know gear reduction is done to death but i cant find any info around reduction for auto jimny?
Does any one know how or what i need to buy to get better ratios back, i am only running 215/75 but being a auto its now just too slow.

Thanks
Lloyd

What year is your jimny? If it's non-vvt you could put some VVT diffs in (4.3) and that would bring the gearing back to standard with 215/75 r15's...

Its a 2003 with double over head cam i dont think its VVT.
Just a ball park but are replacement diffs going to cost more than $500 each?

NFI! They will be exy from a wrecker, but if you buy them private, you should be able to pick both up for under $500 if your lucky...but i wouldn't pay more than $250 per center...

Thebigdog, what are they going to cost and more to the point what are tou going to do about gearing back too far the other way? Going bigger tyres over 215/75?

They will be over $1000 from trail jimny (very exy, considering you could put a sierra t-case for under $500) but you can get the 24% gears cheaper from here http://www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/jimny/j ... d_466.html not sure if they fit a auto t-case tho...

Also, if you do decide to swap to 4.3 center's, i will swap a front 4.3 center with your rear center if you are keen(20,000km's on it)? I will pay postage both ways...
