The r&p on 80's are that too, they put them on because of the 20r/4 speed tranny combo, I switched to the 22r/5 speed and it does make a difference
thats good to know. I just got an '80 20R, both complete axles, tranny, and t-case for 100 bucks. I just wanted the spare inners, and the 'whole lot' was as cheap as a couple inners/birfs. I run 4.10 diffs in my buggy, but might toss in those '80 3rds just to go a bit lower..(even though I have duals, 4.7s,etc...) I was going to use them as spare 3rds, but I guess thats a BAD idea.
Hell, I would not have even checked the ratio...wonder if I would have even NOTICED the different gearing if I had 410s in 1 axle and 4.37s in the other?! My junk has soooo many 'quirks' (
) Id probably NEVER figure it out!! Not that I see myself breaking many R/P gears....
Thanks for the heads up.
