are all our products except for the selected range of adaptor kits
we import from Advance Adapters USA for the US vehicles |
|
What are the benefits of fitting the
Gearmaster Gears?
There are a number of
benefits. The most important is the safety aspect. The engine
braking is dramatically increased. This is most important,
especially for vehicles running automatics. |
|
What ratio should I buy?
This depends on a
number of factors. Auto or manual? 4WDriving terrain the vehicle is
subjected to etc etc. This question is best answered by consulting
with one of our sales team who will determine the best ratio suited
to your needs. |

Do the gears change the high range ratio & if not why?
No. This can't be achieved due to
the fact that high range is direct drive straight through the transfer case |

capabilities. The gears are supplied with full step by step fitting instructions
& no special tools are required. We suggest you read these before making the
decision. The gears can be easily fitted by our workshop or your mechanic.
