Gearing issues!!!

(1/3) > >>

simon15:
right it don't seem to be the clutch that's the problem no more.

as I have been trying to get it to slip again but it won't even dropping the clutch at 20mph in 3rd at high revs.

so the only other thing I can think of is that the gearing is too long?

even pulling out of junctions on slight hills it struggles. and after the weekend pulling away up a steep hill of road as u can tell it didn't like it and seemed and smelt as the the clutch was slipping.

but could the gearing cause this? as it just didn't have enough power to get it moving properly.


what could cause this? could it be running a V8 box?

I'm running a isuzu TD on a rangie box (but unsure of what box I'm running)

simon15:
just had a look and the ration on the transfer box is 1.222??

does this sound about right?

Range Rover Blues:
Yes it does.  The TDi had a longer ratio on 1st to help pull away but all RRC had the same transfer box.

If yo have big tyres then you will be having a problem, It would make sense if your car had been a V8 though.

simon15:
my old V8 had no problems whatsoever and was running 33" tyres on it with a lift.


there is definatly something wrong somewhere, its not the clutch(which is what i thought it was) its not the gearbox/transfer.

Could i put a V8 box onto it to have a shorter gear?


what could it be it doesnt like pulling away and definatly didnt like starting on a hill the weekend which i could happily of done in my old V8...


perhaps im gonna have to go back to a V8 with GAS.... :lol:  :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
Funny, because my 3.9 runs 235/85 and it's defintely struggling.
