GLEi final drive ratio

Post by brad360 » 18 Jan 2007 11:31 pm

Does the GLEi have the same final drive ratio as the GLE, or the same as the injected GLT?

I think that diff ratios follow engine, not trim level.

I might be miles off here, but before Andy changed his gear box and diff the first time on his GLEi SE, he had a GLE diff I think, then it was a GLT he replaced it with, and a GLT when we did it last time!

I seem to think I've remembered it right, as I did ask him the question once!

yeah, Pete's right. I DID have a GLE gearbox in my car, but I don't think it was the full 3.37 of the carb one, I'm pretty sure that it was unique to the GLEi, and was something like 3.45? The normal GLT one is 3.64.

I'd love to confirm it but Aymat STILL HAS MY GREEN BOOKS sm2

Haha, nice and subtle there Andy :D

Interesting....it seems the B200E came with a choice of 3.64, 3.45 and 3.36 diffs in '86. From 87+ it was always a 3.64 with the B200E.
