How do you find the rear differential ratio on a Subaru?

With one wheel on the ground and one being turned, the ratio will be #turns of the propeller shaft divided by the number of turns of the wheel, times 2. Example: The wheel is turned exactly 20 revolutions. The propeller shaft turns 41.1 turns. 41.1/20 = 2.055 X 2 = 4.11.

What is Subaru dual range?

Dual range gearboxes allow the driver to select between higher and lower range of gearing; introducing a new level of versatility when lower speeds would be more suitable to the terrain.

Just a quick scan at the differential gear ratio chart it’s obvious that a ratio of 3.909 is too low at 2587 rpm, ratio of 4.88 is too high at 3230 rpm. But looking at 4.10 with the rpm at 2713 is the closest to 2809 stock rpm.

What should the diff ratio be on a car?

But looking at 4.10 with the rpm at 2713 is the closest to 2809 stock rpm. Even with the help from the differential gear ratio chart and the right diff ratio installed, the vehicle will never regain its fuel economy it had before simply due to the fact that larger tires will have a bigger rolling resistance.

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.

Just a quick scan at the differential gear ratio chart it’s obvious that a ratio of 3.909 is too low at 2587 rpm, ratio of 4.88 is too high at 3230 rpm. But looking at 4.10 with the rpm at 2713 is the closest to 2809 stock rpm.
