ring and pinion gears for a 4speed

okay so after a little modification to my housing i got a whole new third member put in the toyota. what a big difference from the 3.07 to the 4.10 gear. with the 4 speed and a 4.10, my top speed is 65. hopefully my 5 speed tranny will balance this out... its shitty driving around town. at 55 it sounds like im on the freeway doing 80. haha. and it knocked my speedo waaaaay off. lol. everything is painted with a little airbrush work, ill get pictures up soon. also, my old powdercoated third member will be for sale. its a bright green, ill also get pictures of it as well.

@65 you should be around 2500rpm with the 5spd pending on the final drive ratio.

IM Baaaaaaacccck!


Hey, if ANEYONE has ANY 2wd gears smaller than 4.10, I need them!! I am running 3000 rpm's at 65 mph in 5th gear!! GRRRR!

I have a few parts to barter with...lol

toyotaman, go to randys ring and pinon for your gear set... i think mine was 600 bucks shipped to my door. its a full complete rear end. housing, bearings, gears, set up and ready to drop in. i have a 3.07 gear set but am unsure as to how good they are. my yoke was trashed and just decided to go with a whole new rear end. my housing and everything is for sale to, its powder coated green. personally i think i went to too high of a ratio (4.10) in the rear. with my 5 speed, on my old gears (the 3.07) i lost all my low end, and my top end sucked balls to. but we'll see when it goes in for the second time.

ill try to get pictures of everything tonight. its been a little hecktic lately.

yeah i think the final drive in my 5 speed is like, .83:1 so we'll see. can you mark the the shaft that goes into the flywheel put it in 5th gear and turn it 1 full rotation. and see how far the tail shaft turns to get a rough estimate? toyota wont give out trans ratio info. im going to sift through the sites you posted up to see if i can get any more info on the tranny ratios.

also, how would you calebrate the speedo since is cable driven?

You may be able to check with some transmission places about identifying the 5spd you have. Toyota was notorious for not marking them for general public. They should be able to tell you what the final drive ratio would be. Most are a 1.0 or maybe even .77 but thats highly unlikely for an early model 5spd. I love the bottom end the 4:10's gave me but I could really go for a 6spd with this combo to get the top end I'd like. But thats more money and BS than I want to deal with right now.

As far the speedo you'll have to deal with the transmission shops. Usually its a simple swap of the drive gear for the cable. I'm not real up on what can be done with the toyotas but I need to check into it soon myself. Mine seems to be off by about 8 - 10mph. It was that way before especially with the 13" wires.

Jeff, I found these sites and they seem pretty interesting if not helpful.
