Later diffs (final ratio) in an earlier Jim'

That's esactly what I've done with The Boogie -

As I'm running 16" GV alloy wheels with ~ 29" tyres...

Thanks Dave, I'm totally impressed with your project can't wait hear it used in anger
I'm not going the big tyre lots bar work track, trying to keep it lite as possible

Hmmm, if you just want to lower the low ratio side of the box, the auto VVT transfer box would fit the bill (as the high side is the same ratio) BUT it's electric / button controlled... You'd have to see if the gears were transferable to a manual stick transfer box?

Would it be possible to take the whole assembly with the actuators and have it run off a simple switch without the control module? Don't know, I've never tried.

Hi Lambert
Sounds like i might be barking up the wrong tree zookbob is saying internal ratios of transfer case between manual and auto gearbox jimny's are the same i was also posts from this forum dating back to 2011 talking about auto transfer case and bigger tyres

Hi, No...

The auto transfer box has the same high ratio side, and the low side is lower as you originally thought...

BUT it is a switched model, not a stick shift one...

I'm trying to find out whether the gears inside would be transferable from the auto's transfer box to a manual transfer box, and have asked a friend who breaks the odd Jimny whether he has an auto one, as this may prove ideal for The Boogie to give me a lower gears offroad...
