Its the torque that creates the problem, and specifically in our case the low down wave of torque a diesel gets.Already know this fella. Increase will be upto 40lbft. If it presents a problem may just have it held back to 300lbft. Shes performing well at that now. Im more concerned about the gearbox side of things. Clutches can be changed but dont thing ive got any other options gearbox side?
I know theres a varient with a hydro clutch (cant remember what from, just woke up [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]) which means different box case but unsure if this means they've addressed the gears and made them stronger. Was tempted yo change the box later for somthing abit more "sprinty". Xud would just be daft but think theres a shorter ratio box from a hdi van out there? Seen it mentioned a few times but never looked into it.
Only reason im intrested in slightly shorter ratio's is to sprint, top ends no fun where i live and its not worth your licence in the persuit of it
