do you have tow package? that's probably why. I think the tow package XJs had 3.73 I think the upcrountry ones did as well (3.73)

I guess the waggys with the D44s have it as well.

auto is 3.55 and manual is 3.07 i believe. 3.55 can be seen in my build sheet for the blue one. and Dukie said his is doing fine with the 3.07s, but that's because it is a manual and it changes things I guess.

Manual is 3.07

Thats what i thought. See what happens when i put "finding my ratio" off? My tcase magically loses its breather hose, fills up with water and breaks. But finding a orange 35 tooth speedo gear kinda made me feel better.

As to why amc used a piece of plastic as a thrust washer i will never know...

jakbob

I dont know if i have the two package. Cant get a build sheet for renix. But from what i read, renix would come with 3.73 or higher if it came witj the tow package or the off highway package.

hmmmm, probably something to do with it being a waggy with a D44.

My black 1989 XJ, a manual also, has 3:73 gears. The axles came out of the red 1988 I had that was auto and had factory tow package. The axles I took off the black one, did have, and still do have 3:55 gears. Not sure if it came factory with tow package or not

Damn. I shouldnt have slept so early. My back and shoulders were killing me, so i took a pain killer and went to sleep.

Im wide awake now. Waiting on mcgxj to message me back. Damn.

so the gears in that are from an auto with tow package which is what I said. not stock, well from that jeep, lol.

nowhres

Yea, I have/had three autos, all of which had 3:73s, and three manuals, all of which had 3:55s.

Four autos now, but haven't checked the new red Jeep for gear ratio

jakbob

Of the millions of jeeps that were made, i can see that happening.

jakbob

Dude, we need to hang out. Havent in a while.

nowhres

That is why I thought that all autos were 3:73 and manuals 3:55, guess I was just lucky in purchases.


Will be hanging out more once the black XJ is done. Going back to working on and finishing it up. Plus, with my busted *** phone, have only been talking/texting on necessity

nowhres

Now I am curious what the ratio is in the new red XJ...

jakbob

Easiest way, pull the speedo gear. One bolt, and the tooth count is stamped on it. At first when i saw "35" i thought 3.55. But upon research, it is actually 35 teeth with stock 29 inch tires... coming out to 3.73 gearing.

nowhres

Will do it when it is not dark and raining. It's a '96 Country, should pull the VIN and send in for a build sheet.
