    M109a4 /a3: Reducing rpms, gaining speed / tranny / gearing solution & crowd sourcin

    Tom, will the multifuel flywheel bolt onto the 3116, or will he have to get one that is made for the 3116?

    Oh darn, yeah I didn't realize that. Man o' man, Kalifornia.... I'm sorry.

    It is. The LDS is 440. I could make up the difference between the two with a short 3/8" ratchet. They are so close it makes no difference.

    3053 will hold up fine. The LDS doesn't hurt them, and it has the same power. That big 5 ton sucker is just too big and heavy, and long. Excuse my mistake on the factory final drive ratio.

    I have a couple of spare transmissions. Let me know what you come up with, and we can make a deal if need be. Of course, I could install the overdrive kit in it before shipping it, or you could buy a brand new transmission with the kit already installed for... $3000 if memory serves. I only have...

    The spicer 3053a will mate up to the 3116. It may need the reducer ring from the bell housing on a multifuel, and it may not. Could bolt right up. One way or the other, it will fit. The spicer 3053a, with an aftermarket 5th gear made by Waterloospecialties has a final drive ratio of .69. I have...

    Much cheaper to start with the spicer five speed from behind a multifuel, and drop in a waterloo overdrive kit. I can run around 70 mph in my truck with that kit and 11.00r20s. I could even push it faster, but I have no desire for a blown engine. The spicer trans can be put behind the 3116...
