G'day guys,
Just curious, These dual range forester boxes are there any 4.11/4.44 final drive ratios? If there is - which models are they?
Cheers

there definately are - that's the box i'll be getting. the first series has the 4.11 (non turbos of course - turbos are single range). the 2.5L has the better gear ratios imo. every now and then one comes up on ebay

Im pretty sure that the early model Foresters had a 3.9:1 final drive only the turbo's had the 4.11 and only when they went to the larger body and 2.5 did they come with a 4.11 final drive.

i've always worked off the carsales research, however it looks like they have changed their site and they dont have trans details anymore damn it. i was pretty sure ones that were 4.11 had the 1.59:1 low range too. i honestly cant remember now

Yeah i agree they used to have the details and that is why im asking on here... it didnt have 1.59:1 ratio, it was something like 1.4x:1 ratio.. Hmm time to ask subaru i guess..

Yeah i know the early 2.0l Foresters had the 1.42:1 low range and the 3.9:1 final drive but i dont know weather that was for the entire life of that model. But definately all the 2.5s are 4.11 with 1.15 low

Gearbox code and ratio GUIDE remember that alot of gearbox's have been rebuilt since they left the factory and may not contain the raitos stated.
