Another diff question...

[Mr.Sumo]

i think the Wagon has a 4:1 fitted i know she only fitted with the 1300 at the moment with a standard 4 speed box , but , shes screaming her tits off at 70+....any ideas what diff would be better and stop her squealing like a banshee at anything over 60 mph

 

cheers........

Anything lower, eg 3.6, 3.5 etc, but then you will lose acceleration but gain on motorway driveability It's all swings and roundabouts

[razersedge]

i'd say try a 3.9 and it should be good for 95 where as the 4.1 is good for 80 ish but you won't loose all the acceleration but it will loose it's edge as pip said

[Mr.Sumo]

Cheers fellas Good to see your"e still about Pip

 

So , a 3:9 then it shall be ....... now , whos got one for sale and how much i wonder

Enter your tyre sizes, CWP/diff ratios into the below and it will give you RPM and speed. I found this to be one of the better gear calculators around... Also better than stabbing in the dark:
