Eagle_SX4 Posted October 21 Posted October 21 I found this on Novak's website while looking at some other parts. They are offering a 4.31:1 first gear for the AX15. https://www.novak-adapt.com/forum/d/56-new-product-ax15-4311-low-first-gear-conversion https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/transmission/transmission-parts/ax15-low-first-gear.html Probably not worth it to most at $530, but it is good to see more parts becoming available.
89 MJ Posted October 21 Posted October 21 I just saw that yesterday too. I was happy to see it. It would be great for someone who hits trails regularly or tows regularly, but also likes the interstate.
derf Posted October 21 Posted October 21 It's interesting, right when I'm about to rebuild my AX15. But $530 is pretty steep.
pizzaman09 Posted Thursday at 02:20 AM Posted Thursday at 02:20 AM I like the idea, though I think a swap to a 4:1 transfer case would provide the same benefits to me. Even when I'm towing a heavy load on the road, the factory first gear is plenty low enough. It would be epic for crawling.
derf Posted Thursday at 04:14 AM Posted Thursday at 04:14 AM That's one thing stopping me. I'm putting in an Atlas with the 4.3. Still, it would drop my crawl ratio from about 75:1 down to around 85:1.
