Neither a 410 or a 413 box will directly fit a Jimny, you will need a mounting kit and different propshafts (depending on the kit).

A 410 box on its own creates a "MiniLobster" which provides slightly reduced ratios. Based on the expense of the mounting kit this does not give very good value.

Cutting and Welding the gears from a combination of 410 and 413 boxes will create a "RockLobster" and creates a very useful lowering of gearing. Roughly a 4:1 ratio.

Buying a "drop-in" set of replacement gears will provide other ratios of 5:1, 6:1 or 8:1 depending on the gears purchased (and depending on the depth of your pocket!)
