| Post subject: | Suzuki Jimny - Reduction Gears |
Hi all, I have a Suzuki Jimny 2013 Automatic model and after a fair bit of offroad kms i have found the low range gearing to not be low enough for crawling down very steep inclines. My question is, if i was to get say a 20-30% reduction - low range only (stock tires/car otherwise) would it be possible to modify the transmission in a way that allows fourth gear to be engaged in low range? The reason for this is I am concerned the lowered gears may make the car too slow for driving on the beach in low range as the car is restricted to a maximum of third gear in low range in the automatic 2013 model... Thanks Matt. |

kind of depends how much your willing to spend, and how much you like having a auto, and your warranty... apio gearsets give 58% in low only, but will set you back over 2k AUD. http://translate.google.com/translate?d ... o/6020_01/ cant help you on unlocking 4th sorry. theirs kits for larger cars that lock up the torque converter much tighter, making them both more efficient/responsive while limiting overun, however from my experience with the manual, theres still a bit of overun with such a small engine. for the costs involved, routinely replacing your break pads and cycling your peddel pressure to prevent overheating the breaks would be the best bet. |

No idea on the Jimny, but on my Vitara I can get OD in low by disconnecting the 4low warning light wire from the tranny stick end. I did this because I have a very low gear set in the transfer case with only 30" tyres. Somebody will know how, but Jimny 2013 being new, it may take a bit longer for a reply. |
