Types of Gear Ratios in Suzuki Vitara I / Grand Vitara I Differentials
To determine the gear ratio in the differential, count the teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear and divide them:
Ring gear | Pinion gear | Differential gear | Ratio occurrence |
---|---|---|---|
41 | 8 | 5.125 | Vitara / Grand Vitara I |
39 | 8 | 4.875 | Vitara / Grand Vitara I |
37 | 8 | 4.625 | Vitara |
43 | 10 | 4.3 | Vitara / Grand Vitara I |
43 | 11 | 3.909 | Grand Vitara I |
An easy way to check the differential gear ratio without disassembling the car:
- Lift one rear wheel. Leave the other wheels on the ground.
- Mark the position of the lifted wheel and the rear propshaft with a marker.
- While turning the lifted wheel twice, count how many times the propshaft rotates:
- The propshaft turned five times and a bit: 5.125
- It almost reached five turns: 4.875
- It made slightly more than four and a half turns: 4.625
- It made just under four and a half turns: 4.3
- Almost four turns of the driveshaft: 3.909
