Differential gear ratios
Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2020 9:53 am
I am asking for help and experiences.
I am considering fitting a CWP in my Elan with a 3:1 ratio.
My thoughts are that a five speed conversion is very expensive and tortuous and fitting the above will reduce the rpm for a given road speed which in turn will make continental long distance cruising more relaxed. I realise that it may reduce acceleration somewhat but I have more than enough power to cope with that.
Has anyone done this and if so what are your experiences.
Thanks in advance.
