has anyone swapped the front gears for a teryx and put them in the brute front end. heard its like gear reduction and brings the ratio back to stock.... just wondering thinking about doin i just need some info.. thanks

 

[wood butcher]

u gotta keep the front diff and the rear diff the same gear ratio. thats why u gotta run the same size tires on a 4x4

 

[phreebsd]

this is why it's done at the bevel gears.
its a 200 dollar gear reduction. everyone that has it done says it's the shiz.
spin huge meats like stockers

 

[walker]

i wonder how hard the install is.. and i've heard the same thing steve heard turn 32's like stockers

 

[bayou_boy_22]

tell us more this sounds like a must have.

 

[phreebsd]

its pretty easy to do.
you know the square plate where the rear seal is in? you remove that plate and on the side where the dip stick is.
you'll need shims. you have to set the gear lash.

 

[walker]

sounds like a pain .. but maybe worth it...

Hm, my dad has a teryx. Wonder if he'll even notice........

On a serious note doesnt sound like a bad idea. I'd assume clutching could be less aggressive also? Is there anywhere to buy the ring, pinion, and shims other than the stealership? May be something worth looking into.

 

[walker]

i'm guessing you could buy the stuff online and maybe save some money... i think this will be my next mod.........

 

[phreebsd]

the dealership cost is around 230 bucks total.

I did my own gears in my Jeep... can't be much different than that... just on a smaller scale..

I did a similar thing to my old rincon. Got the gears out of the big red and swapped them to the rincon. Something like 30% lower and still honda stuff. Wasn't too bad. Got it all done in a day, all day long. Had to pull everything off from the rear motor back.

So what all do I need to go buy to do this gear swap on the front and rear?

 

[phreebsd]

u dont put it on the front and rear. u swap out the bevel gears.
From there, power is supplied to front and rear.

You need to buy the following parts:

49022-0044 GEAR-BEVEL,DRIVE $104.57
49022-0045 GEAR-BEVEL,DRIVEN $104.57

then you need one or two shims for adjusting gear lash on drive and driven gears.
these are part numbers

92180-1307 SHIM,DRIVEN,T=0.151 $3.39
92180-1308 SHIM,DRIVEN,T=0.201 $3.39
92180-1309 SHIM,DRIVEN,T=0.501 $3.39
92180-1310 SHIM,DRIVEN,T=0.801 $3.76
92180-1311 SHIM,DRIVE,T=0.151 $3.01
92180-1312 SHIM,DRIVE,T=0.201 $3.01
92180-1313 SHIM,DRIVE,T=0.501 $3.01
92180-1314 SHIM,DRIVE,T=0.801 $3.01
92180-1349 SHIM,DRIVEN,T=1.001 $4.15
92180-1350 SHIM,DRIVEN,T=1.201 $4.15
92180-1351 SHIM,DRIVE,T=1.001 $4.15
92180-1352 SHIM,DRIVE,T=1.201 $4.15

Get the bevel gears done?

 

[phreebsd]

swap them out

 

[gpinjason]

OH.. ok this whole time I was thinking it was the gears inside the diffs... but it's the gears inside the tranny/transfer case?

 

[BlackedOutBF]

I understand now... That cant be to bad to swap out.

 

[DjScrimm]

Very easy. Take two drive shafts off and pull the rear plate and piece by dip stick as Steve said. May not be able to get them out with the motor in though? The rear gear comes out with the thru shaft... may be too long to pull out with motor mounted. Other than that it would be very easy. Just two gears and couple snap rings/cir clips. Mines apart right now.

I was thinking about doing this while she down and out, and then i stumble across the GR SLC just came out with for a WHOPPING $600+, Wonder how much more of a reduction theirs is...

 

[FABMAN]

cool stuff hear.
