Re: [diesel_mercedes] Final Drive Ratio

 

Do you mean to replace with a Mercedes rear end? Also I thought "set up" of these things had to be precise, like with dial indicators, or you could get into trouble. Just wondering. My 240's are very low geared. Max

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
