I would really like to totally replace the T-case on my 98 Montero Sport with 2.85:1 or 3:1 or 4:1 Where do I start? I have a laughable low gear of 1.925:1 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I think 99% of us Monty owners have the same crappy low range ratio. I'd rather add a extra t-case than simply replacing it. Nothing fits without an adapter plate so a crawler gear with a 2.69:1 or a 3:1 is enough for us who aren't doing any serious competition rock climbing. Loosing that full-time 4WD is a shame. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

There are the only thing available, and quite a bargain compared to custom, one off ideas no one has ever tried. They are easily good for 35" tires, with no moe stalling <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I have a 98 MS. So I don't have full-time 4WD. 2.85 gears would be a vast improvement from 1.925. I just figuer if you are going to spend all that money you might as well do it right and get 4:1 gears. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" /> But that won't be happening for some time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Steve I think 99% of us Monty owners have the same crappy low range ratio.

I think there going for 850.00, Franks email is <frankyz@austarmetro.com.au> . Would lower gears be nicer? I dont know, certainly not 4:1, thats too low for me, even with 35s, and the cost to get a custom one off job is in the 4-7K neighborhood, and I dont live their! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> 2:85 stops all stalling, and allows limitless crawl potential with an Auto and 35s, more with smaller tires obviously. 3 or 3.5 might be nice for a little more downhill compression braking on vertical surfaces, although like at the upcoming Colorado rally as an example the 2:85s take away the need for brakes alltogether. Oh, and I cant wait to see how the 5:29s add to it on the same trails this year <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Full time???? Active Track???? Super select???? I was refering to the 4H on the t-case wich isn't a 50/50 split between back and front. I thougt the Montero Sport had the same T-case as the full size. My mistake. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Well, I guess it back to the drawing board. The 2.85 gears won't fit a auto. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Here is what frank said. " If it is the 5sp with the 1.925 low range they will fit if it is the auto version with 1.90 low range they won't." Steve I think there going for 850.00, Franks email is <frankyz@austarmetro.com.au> . Would lower gears be nicer?
