R151F/HZJ78: More/Higher-Ratio Overdrive?
I need more overdrive, as in a higher ratio, in 5th gear/high range, from my R151F gearbox and transfer case in my HZJ78.
Reason is to have lower revs at highway cruising speed, 110kp/h for example.
(diff ratio and tyre size changes are not an option in this situation)
One option is Marks 4WD Adapters Gearmaster rock crawling transfer case gears, which would change the 1:1 high range transfer gear to 0.92:1 (lowering engine revs at 100kp/h), as well as changing the low range transfer gear from 2.295:1 to 2.82:1 (which is also useful).
Problem with that is the $1825AU cost.
Any other options for a higher ratio high range overdrive, such as alternative replacement transfer gears, replacement 5th and possibly other transmission gears, etc.?
(diff ratio and tyre size changes are not an option in this situation)
Thanks.
