Doesn't have it and I truely don't think it would need it, unless someone wanted to go rock crawling. :)

EE20 vs drivetrains

Post by pitrack_1 » Mon Oct 08, 2012 9:31 pm

Some info in discussion on diesel torque vs drivetrain components in thread on other site here. Starts off on diffs, some interesting gearbox comparisons last half of 2nd page from this post on.

Well, so far they handle the power and torque of the H6 just fine. And realistically the L series gearbox is no different in build or design of the EJ boxes. The difference is that they're only front wheel drive - and this has it's issues with loading up one wheel (spinning) and having that drop getting full traction when something goes bang. AWD seems to reduce/eliminate this issue...

Thanks, but still very disappointed no low range is available. Nothing worse than trying to back a boat uphill into a shed without LR.

This was the downfall for the Toyota Tercel - they had the EL (extra low) gear but if you had to reverse up a steep incline that you decided to go down then you were stuck... That's about the only gripe I've heard about with these from owners that take them bush.

Someone mentioned a 5 speed for the diesel. Do they come with a low range option?

If you are prepared to build a 5 speed for the TD forester, then you would be prepared to put in a dual range 5 speed. As the member on the other board intends to have a 5 speed built from scratch.

remember that the TD engine is limited to 40km/h in first gear (or there abouts) and I have no idea if it goes on engine revs or gearbox speed. I do know once you hit the cut off point, engine revs drop until you put the clutch in and change gear.
