Subject:      Lower 1st gear in 091-1 - forgot to add this
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


I forgot to add this to my last post:


Since I can't afford the current 2wd trans rebuild I need, I certainly can't afford
the syncro westy that I really need, so...


In addition to lack of a limited slip diff, the other big problem I have with the
2wd trans is 1st gear being too high for rough terrain and/or hill climbing. Is
there an easy/cheap 1st replacement which would give a lower ratio without
leaving too much gap between 1st/2nd? Has anyone tried this?


tia.
