i pulled an 8 3/4 2.76 sure grip out of a 69 sport satellite back in the day. i am not sure if i am correct, but i always expected that the higher (or taller...hee, hee) geared stock third member would likely produce a less strained or "abused" sure grip carrier...and the carrier might be a better candidate to throw in a rebuilder third member without actually rebuilding the carrier.

I've had enough of his "facts". Another one for the blocked list. <plonk> That'll make this thread about 75% "shorter" so I can read through it "faster"




Oh [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]... now that is funny.

As for the rest ov you longtallshortlow bastards... I hope you're happy. You've ruined my beautiful thread.

While I should not feed the troll,
DocF, I do not think it means what you say it means....

here's DocDiff's reply:

Quote:

2.76 ratio: "high" speed gear

4.88 ratio: "low" speed gear

Transmission: "low gear" first gear

Transmission: "high gear" overdrive

Transfer case: "low range, compound low" low speed

Transfer case: "high range" high speed




where in here does he call a 2.76 a "short gear" and a 4.xx a "tall gear"?

tall/high gears = NUMERICALLY smaller
short/low gears = NUMERICALLY bigger

what's confusing you is the proper way to think of it is the inverse of the stated ratio, as the important way to look at it is "X" input creates "Y" output

a 2.76 gear means 2.76 turns of the driveshaft turns the wheel once. a 4.88 gear means 4.88 turns of the driveshaft turns the tire once, so to compare, you need to normalize the input.

with 4.88's 1 turn of the driveshaft turns the tire .205 times


with 2.76's 1 turn of the driveshaft turns the tire .362 times

.362 > .205, and therefore the 2.76 (SMALLER NUMERICALLY) is "taller" or "higher"

in 15 years as a degreed mechanical engineer, you are the ONLY person I've ever heard consider a 2.76:1 gear as a "low" or "short" gear, and a 4.10 as a "high" or "tall" gear.

There you go, this b@st@rd did his part to try to restore the "beauty" of this thread which should have been answered in maybe three or four replies IMO but that might be a tall tale.
