Default Re: Can Somebody Explain Gearing

you got the transmission ones rite.

the transfer case has 3 selections. there is no 1 or 2 its just high and low, but i guess if you want you can think of it as 1 and 2. you have HIGH(unlock), HIGH(lock) and LOW(lock). the lock/unlock refers to whether the front and rear axles will be getting equal power or not.

so if you wana be technical you do have 8 gears, but in reality you dont. on the street you have 4 drivable gears, and on the trail you have 8, but you dont go 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, you can go high 1,2,3,4 or low 1,2,3,4. also on the streats you wouldnt go far driving in low, its too damn slow and torqy and the axles are locked.

hope this helps, and i hope i didnt mess up and write something stupid in there.
