[diesel_mercedes] Final Drive Ratio

 



It depends on the typ of rear drive .

In Mercedes it's very simple , just replace the final drive unit with one from a Junk Yard having the ratio you desire .

In the case of my elderly LBC's (BMC products, all)  , the rear axle has a removable center section often called a ' pumpkin ' or ' chunk ' ~ in both cases these items are usually never scavenged from junkers before final crushing so there's almost always plenty to choose from .

A good bit of labor involved but no real technical expertise necessary .

How can one do " modifications to the gear ratio"? Max
