Re: Need Help choosing a transmission
So here is some numbers to consider. For every inch in diameter your tire grows you gain 2 mph at a given rpm. For every inch your tire grows you reduce your rpm by 100 at a given speed. An overdrive transmission will reduce your rpm by 600. Changing rear gears to 3.42 drops rpm by 250, and 3.08 by another 250. Assuming these are available for your axle. Estimate gears to cost 1k per axle, or tires 1k per vehicle, or transmission 2k per vehicle, best bet is to go the tire route. Might be a dog off the line. So for my 2 cents, i would go with the TH400, and change tires, at least on the rear. Might be able to find some taller tires on the cheap, and at least see if this is the right direction.
