I am talking about FJ40, FJ45, FJ45V. From memory, produced at the same time, all three in our fleet, and all three with different diff ratios. And I think, different ratios again were used in the really early ones in the 50s and early 60s. Found out about it putting a diff out of an FJ40 into an FJ45.Quote:

A PO of the SIII 109 I had a few years ago decided to get more speed from the car by putting a Stage 1 rear axle in the thing, but forgot about the front diff :(
Talk about transmission wind up :o

Doesn't the Freelander have different ratio's?The slip is offset by the coupling in the tailshaft that s@#t themselves all the time. Pat
105 series are 4.3:1, 79 series are 4.1:1 not 4.11Quote:

These ratios are near enough enough for me. Probably tyre wear or pressures could make as much difference.
1HZ in the 79 are 4.3:1 and 1HD-FTE are 4.1:1 i believe. that sort of discrency is **** all in the scheme of things(4.1and 4.11)Quote:

On firm ground it would just stall.Quote:
