Transfer Gears

Post by Phantomzook »

Has anyone dealt with this site or know someone that has ran these gears?
The 6.5 gear set. The instructions appear to be very easy to follow with plenty of pics :lol:

The price seems pretty fair.

A couple of guys on outers have dealt with them and seem happy, dank has also dealt with them but got the 4.9s.

Have you had a look at the trail tough 6.4's they are dearer but have a higher high range, 17% instead of 20%. I guess it depends what tyres you want to run.
I will be ordering the 6.4's.

I am just wondering if these would fit the GV.
They say they do ... 4.24:1 gears. 143% low rang reduction. ????

Sean at Lowrange is great to deal with, very easy. :D

No Andrew they won't fit as you have a manual V6. Get an auto ;)

Gearbox output shaft spline for GV's only AFAIK- Auto is different.

The manual has a shorter output shaft length. The t-case gears will not work with the following: early Vitara ('89 - '90), V6 manual GV, 5spd auto GV, all XL-7's, as well as the diesel Vit's, GV's & XL-7's although they will fit the 4spd auto Mazda RF powered Vit and GV.

So could a splined stub adapter be used to join the two ?

I don't know as I have not seen them together. This info about the shaft is from more than one source that have tried to fit them.
