picked up a new (to me) 3rd memeber. the ring has 37 teeth and the pinion has 9 making it a 4:11 and my old one has 41 and 10 making it 4:10.. also not sure how to tell if its out of a v-6 or not. could i runn this or will it cause a big problem

 

4 cyl third has 2 spider gears, v6 has 4 spider gears

 

toyota OEM 4.10 has the 41/10 setup

Aftermarket gears are 37/9

You can use the 37/9 = 4.11 third with a OEM front 4.10

I've actually driven a 4.10 front with a 4.11 rear on pavement in 4wd for about a 1/2 mile. It's fine.

I did go back to OEM 41/10 4.10 beacsue the OEM gears were quieter than the 37/9 gears. My diff guy just couldn't set up the 37/9. He could set up the 41/10.

 

Toyota did make OEM 4.11's. IIRC they were never put into v6's either. I wanna say they only came in 1st gens and maybe even only 2wd's. But not sure on that.

 

maybe this is a dumb question but what is iirc? and so i should be fine putting my spartin locker in the 4:11 3rd?

 

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly. I don't see why the spartan wouldn't fit in there. As long as it's a 4cyl (2 pinion) spartan.

 

another question, im trying to install the spartin and the ring has to come off but it has this clips around the bolts. do i just bend them down and hammer back up when i put it back on or is there something else?

 

nevermind on that last question aha figured it out

 

Read thru these.....: http://www.gearinstalls.com/

 

i have been, i think i got it under control now aha

 

is there some sort of trick to get the ring back on?

 

Ugh........if it popped off it'll pop back on.

 

anyone know the torque specs for the bearing cap bolts and ring bolts?

 

it isn't listed in the fsm?

 

im sure it is but i cant find mine...

 

its not in my haynes book. anyone know a good source?
