Do higher gear ratio faster or slower?
A lower (taller) gear ratio provides a higher top speed, and a higher (shorter) gear ratio provides faster acceleration. . Besides the gears in the transmission, there is also a gear in the rear differential.
What gear ratio gets better gas mileage?
The lower the number, the better fuel economy, and the higher the number the more towing power you have, but fuel economy suffers. For instance, a 3:31 gets better fuel economy than a 3:73. On the other hand, a 3:73 or perhaps a 4:10 will tow much more, while fuel economy greatly drops.
What should I do about my Nissan D40 front diff?
D40 front diff probs.. am having probs with the front diff of my Navara D40 (2008 model)… apparently i need to replace the whole thing according to the dealer. trying to source parts online but don’t know what the ratio is for the diff.. can anyone advise? Nissan is very hard to deal with when you want to buy piece parts for diffs.
Which is better a high or low gear ratio?
The lower the number, the faster the car will go with the same number of engine revolutions. The higher the number the better the car will accelerate, but at the expense of high speed cruising. Now for the confusing part of the story. A high numerical gear ratio is called a low gear or low rear end, and vice versa.
Where can I find out my Nissan offroad gear ratio?
Suggestion: Rather than rely upon third party websites for technical information and factory specifications, particularly from relatively unknown sources, it is often better to look at the Factory Service Manuals, Owner’s Manuals, Service and Maintenance Guides and other information published by Nissan. Is yours a 2WD “Offroad?”
Why do you use a slower gear ratio on a reel?
Using a reel that retrieves the lure more slowly will help us prevent the problem with lure rollover without much effort on our part. The reel will do the work for us by moving the lure more slowly because of the higher (slower) gear ratio.
What makes a differential work in a Nissan?
Differentials consist of a pinion gear, driven by the output from the transmission, and a ring gear (which Nissan calls drive gear) which drives the axles. Differentials also include other components that allow the drive wheels to spin at different speeds, which happens whenever the vehicle isn’t travelling in a perfectly straight line.
What are the diff ratios on a Nissan R200?
Nissan R200 diff ratios: 3.133 – 47/15 – fine pitch 3.357 – 47/14 – fine pitch 3.364 – 37/11 – normal pitch
The lower the number, the faster the car will go with the same number of engine revolutions. The higher the number the better the car will accelerate, but at the expense of high speed cruising. Now for the confusing part of the story. A high numerical gear ratio is called a low gear or low rear end, and vice versa.
What is the gear ratio of a Nissan?
The gear ratio for first gear is 4.368:1 and the final drive gear ratio is 3.538:1 Therefore the engine spins 15.454 times each time the drive wheels spin once! Now let’s look at ways of identifying common Nissan differentials.
