[VB] New Transaxle - Follow up

[Avocado Tom Tarka]

That’s awesome Sam!

Does anyone know what the standard 4th gear that Rancho puts in split bus transmissions?  The tag on my transmission says 0.8-something.  The second digit is hard to read.  

I would have expected it to have the stock 4th: 0.82.  I just want to make sure I didn’t somehow end up with a 0.89 4th, which would be shorter gearing (higher RPM) than the stock trans even though I went with the smaller than stock 4.125 R&P.

Thoughts/experiences?

Thanks!
    Tom

I had a small drive around it is going great, no grindy noises and smooth shifting. The 3.88 R&P is fine and with my 1600 DP it goes 60 mph at 3000 RPM, good for freeway driving.
