Is the transfer case a 1to1 ratio? i did some searching and found that 97-01 crv awd trans is 4.562 and the rear end diff is 2.533. Can some one explain why this is or correct me?

 

MT .434
AT .393

 

ok so is the rear final drive the same or different than the front?

 

different, I would check but im too lazy to go back into the shop to get the service manual again

 

really? thanks

 

the rear overdrives versus the front wheels. its more of a rear wheel assist than a 4 wheel drive. basically when the front tires loose traction the rear diff transfers oil pressure to the rear clutch pump. this enables the rear wheels causing them to push the crv ahead untill the front regains traction. i might be slightly off on a few minor details but i beleive the jist to be correct. i would appreciate some rt4wd specialists to chime in and correct me if im wrong

 

Thanks and yes if someone is a specialists that would be great... I'm attempting to do the all wheel drive 94 civic. but the epic tunning car has the 4wd civic wagon transfer and and rear diff which is super hard to find. I'm just trying to figure out why they didnt use the crv transfer.

 

wagon stuff is stronger

 

i know that but i'm planning on pushing no more that 350hp. There's was pushing 650hp. Right now with a stock b20 running 7psi and a b16 lsd trans, the car has no traction 1-3 gear and forth it jerks from wheel spin. In stead of buying 1400 dallor coilovers and a 350dallor traction bar and slicks at 250 a tire. I can get a trans to the rear diff for no more than 1500 and a little time.

 

I found what i need. the transfer case is just under 2:1 ratio.
1st- 3.500
2nd- 1.956
3rd- 1.344
4th- 1.071
5th- 0.812
final drive- 4.562
"Transfer- 0.434"
rear diff- 2.533
