5.62 Gears?
« on: August 07, 2006, 01:18:38 PM »
I found an offer for a 3rd member with 5.62 gears in it.  The seller said that this is from a stock sidekick. 

Did the sidekicks ever come with 5.62 gears or did he count wrong?

I just put on some 31s so these gears would be a little better than 5.12s

Yes they did. The 89 model Sidekick with the 1.3L motor had the 5.62 gears.

Would I have to find the same gears for the front or would be ok to run the stock gears up front and 5.62s in the rear

It's fine as long as you don't ever plan to use 4wd  :'(  You'll need to find a front set, however the 5:62, as well as the 5:38's are extremley rare, and you'll have a hard time finding them.
