ok so iv read through this and i wont to no what reansfer i can run in my 99 jimny non vvt manual?
or do i just ndd to do the sierra t-case im not to keen on. id like to run 30's if i can get the gearing better
cheers all

[Bugsta]

Sierra case would be a better fit than for the later ones.

[shep]

What reduction would I get if I put a WT sierra transfer into my vvt jimny? Have looked at heaps of graphs but can't work out the high and low range reduction.

[Bugsta]

Is yours Manual or Auto?
Do you know what the ratios are of teh WT case? I'm not all that familiar with them.

[Marko_SJ]

According to here:

http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-jim ... ratio.html

It is 1.409:1 for a stock WT case in High range. and "low stock is just 2.268"

jimny is manual

[Marko_SJ]

I have an interest in the result of this too, my brother and I worked out that he would be using 4.9:1's with a non-VVT gearbox. Or something along those lines.

Zukenutter worked out a while it ago and it was in between 30-40% of the top of my head. Good for 35s

[Jezza86]

shep did it viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42589&p=770424#p770424
went from 3200rpm @ 100 to 4200 rpm @100
32% reduction
thus monley's 20% tj gears may have actually been the discontinued 24% or new 27% tj gears?

can I use any older tc as I read that graph on page 1 it seems they are all 1.32 except the vvt manual, I would prefer the tc with a stick rather than the auto shit

[zukenutter]

Yes but the intermediate shaft will be the wrong length. Pretty sure it's too short and an earlier model shaft is the wrong spline so you'd need a custom shaft

[11acb]

Oh I see well there you go. Cheers zooknutter

[zukenutter]

Rethinking this and a 20mm spacer would fix the shaft length. Has been a while since I tried this and my old brain doesn't remember stuff as well as it used to

[11acb]

Yea bit of stuffing round anyway. And after reading a bit more I see the low range difference is not enough for me. Would of liked to do a Sierra swap but having trouble sorting the right parts. Think I'll just take a punt on the auto vvt seems could be the simple option. Was hoping to get away from the auto selector as well though

http://www.never2mu.ch/Jimny_Infos/TransferDownGear_02.pdf

"2. Down Gear x 4 sets (15% down Hi, 104% down Low) 146000 JPY
you can get 15% down Hi and 104% down Low by change of 4 gear sets."

Anyone know where I can buy this from?

Tax return time and I'm looking to bump my tires up to 31" but want to sort reduction gears,

Don't really want to swap the transfer to an old sierra style, just want to change the gears in mine (2008 Jim).

Any suggestions and links as to where I can buy gears from for my style transfer?

Basically want to buy the gears then just drop the lot off to my 4x4 mechanic

cheers guys

[zukenutter]

EDIT

Just re-read your post. For your transfer it's not cheap to reduce high and low at different percentages.

[zukenutter]

APIO do a low only reduction but nobody I know of has bought them because of the price. Otherwise it's 20% high/20% low (Also 24% and 27%)

[Bugsta]

Nearly ready to bring in Pro track gears.
VVT manual ratios Hi/Lo 7, 17 and 27% (might be 24%), and Low range 60%
For old Jimny, Hi/Lo ratios will be 7.3, 15.3 and 24%, and Low range 60%

For production and shipping economy, I will place orders with a minimum qty of 4 of the same. Looking into economical shipping.
Look out for a new thread with all the details.

I have determined that the 17/60 gear set is a great option for 29" tyres and probably even ok for 32", and even better if you have a 1.6 or 1.8L.

[zukenutter]

good work bugsta

[pete_79]

Very interested in this Bugsta.

17/60 in standard VVT Jimny manual transfer case, right?
If so will be keen for a price when you're ready to go.

[Bugsta]

Yes, for manual. Nothing developed for auto case at this stage. Except to say that you could put these gears in an auto case with a new chain to give the same ratios (1.07, 1.17,1.27). And I'm pretty sure the low range set would fit the auto but I will confirm this.

[pete_79]

Yeah looking for gearing options for a manual, I just ask because their site only has for '98 - '04 non VVT.

I Google translated nearly the whole site and no mention of newer models. I assumed you got more info from your emails with them.


*Edit
At today's exchange rate they're $1400 per set, hoping bulk order prices will be a bit better.

[Bugsta]

I have been communicating with them for nearly a year through the development. I will be the sole Australian distributor and will support the product. I'll be able to supply only, install into box, or do complete vehicle Install. I'll work out pricing for installation as it comes about.

[Bugsta]

At $1400, that's half the cost of a full set of TJ+APIO. Don't forget shipping.

[pete_79]

Yeah it's all good mate, part of my day job is haggle prices. And we import machines from Europe everyday.


Nice work on scoring the sole distributor, look forward to the updates.

I'll be looking to buy a second hand case and fit the gears myself.
Our Jimny only has 30,000ks on it, so would like to keep the original transfer as is for back up.



I looked into the auto transfer mod about 6 months ago and that idiot zook wrecker in western Sydney wanted $1,400 for a 2011 auto transfer.
I was still pissing myself laughing an hour later when the wreaker on the gold coast confirmed he could ship one to Sydney for $500 including freight.

[Jezza86]

hay bugsta doest this mean you get 2 sets of gears, one for the chain ratio, and a full replacement planetary set for 1400?

if so, what will be the price for the planetary alone?
edit: as i already have both a auto transfer, a manual transfer, and a set of TJ gears for the manual transfer, i probably cant justify buying more gears, unless its a planetary set

cheers

Jez

[jimny_timmy]

$1400??? What happened to the $5-600 you were talking about 6 months ago?

[pete_79]

I got that figure from the Euro price listed on the Protrack site converted to $AU.

[top jimny]

Just FYI a reduction gearset can be put together by using gears and chain from an Auto VVT into a Manual VVT without changing the whole box. Suzuki are selling this kit here in Brazil, but it's about 30% reduction 8-P

Have you got the part numbers for those bits?
