Hi all, as i’m sure majority of manual 4g69 owners are aware sitting at 3000rpms while cruising on the highway is annoying asf. So i want to ask if anyone has changed the gear ratios/Final drive on the 4g69’s F5M42 gearbox by using gears/diff crown wheels from other mitsubishi gearboxes?
I currently have the gearset and diff from a 4g93 lancer and i noticed the 1st and 5th gear ratios and final drive looks like it should’ve been in the 4g69’s gearbox.
4g69 gear ratio
1st: 3.583
2nd: 1.947
3rd: 1.379
4th: 1.030
5th: 0.820
Final drive: 4.058
4g93 gear ratio
1st: 3.071
2nd: 1.947
3rd: 1.379
4th: 1.030
5th: 0.767
Final drive: 3.722
Now this to me looks like the 4g93’s 1st and 5th gear should’ve been in the 4g69, because 1st gear feels like its wayyy too short and 5th gear revs the engine at 3000rpm while sitting at 100km/h.
Has anyone changed their 4g69 gear ratios? I’m worried i may lose a fair bit of acceleration by swapping the 93’s gearset and diff into my 4g69 gearbox.
