Was checking out the three dead trannys I have.
Two are 3.727 to 1 (41 teeth on ring, 11 on pinion)
But one was an oddball 3.153 to 1 (41 teeth on ring, 13 on pinion) (had a larger diameter flywheel too)
It was connected to a 3ac engine out of a Tercel 4wd Wagon.
Ten years ago a guy gave me the engine and tranny after he replaced both in his car (the tranny was broke and engine was high milage)
I re-ringed the engine and its still kicking in one of my cars.
I wonder if he replaced the rear differential?
Where does that tranny fit in to all this Tercel 4wd Wagon stuff?????
Have Odd differential with 3.153 to 1 ratio

Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

Re: Have Odd differential with 3.153 to 1 ratio
Are you sure the pinion gear has 13 teeth? A 3.15 final drive is unusally low. 12 teeth would make that a 3.42 which I believe was used in Tercel hatchbacks and maybe fwd Tercel wagons (sorry I don't have my Chilton books handy). Is that gearbox 4wd or just fwd? Do you want to know what car it fits so you can sell that gearbox?
It's a scientific fact that in a twin engine aircraft, when one engine fails there is always enough power in the remaining engine to make it all the way to the crash site.

I just counted it again and it's definatly 13 teeth but I double checked where it came from and it was from a sedan.danzo wrote:Are you sure the pinion gear has 13 teeth?

It was piled on top of the other bell housing that came out of a 4wd ( I did not notice that there was one underneath)
My mistake.
