Which jimnys have the analoge speedo?

Certainly the SJ series which was known as a Jimny in some markets has analogue but I do not know of any SN series that do?

I've looked at the chart and it seems that the speed at 3000rpm/4th gear of 88-90kmh is correct, but by placing an older gearbox (non VVT) on an VVT engine, wll affect the actual gear ration and road/off-road performance?

Having spent some time swapping all the various combinations of boxes about I have a bit of understanding on the combinations.

You can put a earlier (r7me) gearbox into a vvt jimny with some messing about, but if that was the only thing changed you wouldn’t be able to achieve that sort of speed as it would be so over geared. Setting off in 1st would be like trying to go in 2nd or 3rd currently. Likewise if the diffs were changed.

A better option would be to fit an earlier stick type transfer box, which would lower the final drive ratio (desirable for off-roading). Some larger tyres would be needed if you wanted to keep the revs the same on highway speeds.

The vvt r72 gearbox has a lower final drive speed than the earlier box if that helps explain it.

Notwithstanding having got the wrong end of the stick earlier I have a question; does it actually matter if it is slightly different to other similar vehicles if it is working and not making any odd noises?

What does the final drive number represent?

Its the differential ratio

ooooooo

I have to say that till now I haven't thought about it....
So first ratio comes from the selected gear, second ratio form the transfer case and third from the diffs (fur sure these last two ratios are identical).

Yes,

So for example

2005 VVT manual gearbox Jimny, engine at 4000 RPM and in 5th gear High Ratio

Gearbox input = 4000 RPM
Gearbox ratio = 1
Gearbox output = 4000 RPM

Transfer box input =4000 RPM
Transfer box ratio = 1
Transfer box output = 4000 RPM

Diff input = 4000 RPM
Diff ration = 4.3
Diff output = 465 RPM

Wheel input = 465 RPM
Wheel diameter = 28 inches
Road speed = 77.7 miles per hour


2005 VVT manual gearbox Jimny, engine at 3000 RPM and in 1st gear Low Ratio

Gearbox input = 3000 RPM
Gearbox ratio = 4.425
Gearbox output = 678 RPM

Transfer box input =678 RPM
Transfer box ratio = 2.002
Transfer box output = 338.6 RPM

Diff input = 338.6 RPM
Diff ratio = 4.300
Diff output = 78.5 RPM

Wheel input = 78.5 RPM
Wheel diameter = 28 inches
Road speed = 1.5 miles per hour

For the road speed calc you can use your maths from school or a web calculator - www.4qd.co.uk/road-speed-calculator/

Thats a cracking explanation Martin! Add that below the table in the wiki and it should solve a lot of questions ;-)

Sir,
You seem to have a lot of knowledge - Would you kindly help me in this thread - Quaife ATB for Jimny

I have what you folks might know as a Gen2 Jimny (with an Axle ratio of 3.73:1). I am trying to figure out if the Axle ratio on my car is exactly the same on the following models which the ATB LSD has been know to fit - Jb43, JB74, the 1995 Samurai and the 1998 UK Jimny. My car is a MG413W which is an in-production version of the Gen2 Jimny in India also known as the Maruti Gypsy. I could not find the Axle ratios on the page you linked hence my post.

I don't want to buy an expensive part with international shipping and pay customs duties on top only to find it is not compatible.

Thank you for your inputs on this.
