Re: On road Gear Ratios
Maybe a 413 tbox may pop the revs down a little? Ive got a tbox from a sami
that you can borrow and try it.
413 axles maybe the way to go if you're going vit engine Tho.

I've got a feeling my fathers 410 has a 413 tbox in, ive never checked it and it seems to struggle a bit more on hills compared to karis's old 410.

Re: On road Gear Ratios
I was thinking exactly this, if you want to gear it higher just drop a 413/sammy t box in, the ratios are higher and its easier to fit than axles, if it doesn't work, swap it back & sell it, no harm done.

Re: On road Gear Ratios
When my Sammi was standard, but for 28.5" inch tyres, it would very rarely pull 5th gear. I then fitted a 410 transfer box. This made it better on the road and off road.
In 2WD High it could pull 5th quite a lot, and made road driving better. Off road in 4WD Low it was lower, so had a bit more grunt, so a worth while swap.
Having now gone to the Ignis Sport 1.5 16V, and Jimny 5 speed box, it flies on the road, anywhere, but haven't tested it off road yet, but seems promising.
