Default Changing final drive ratio..
.. Is it just a case of swapping the crown wheel and bottom gear on the main shaft over? Or is is the crown wheel and the main shaft itself?
Cant quite remember how it goes together in the box! lol

Cheers!

The pinion gear is part of the mainshaft. So no quick swop.

Oh thats ok, so just the main shaft and crown wheel!
Dropping a 3.59 in place of my current 4.06, 70mph at 4000rpm is not very economical and with the gears being so close wheel spin is a problem too!

Thanks!
