Title: Trackick R&P gears
Post by: pjok on June 19, 2009, 06:45:52 PM

I'm trying to get infor for my tracker buildup.  I am planning on running a RR 4.5" kit with 31" tires.  I'm pretty sure that I will have a noticable power loss.  I want to get some lower gears, but the only place I found was calmini with 5.83's.  Those would work fine, but their site says the gears are temporarily discontinued.  Does anyone know any other vendors selling gears for a tracker/sidekick?  I checked with randy's r&p, superior gear, and richmond gear, and got nothing.  Thanks in advance.

this is what i had to do. I have the 5.125 gears in the axles(could go with the 4.62 for more wheel spin) then i got the 4.25:1 reduction kit for the tcase. In 4lo and trans in drive i get 15mph at 4000 rpm's. thats why i said you could go with the 4.62 gears in the axles. would get more tire spin. I got the tcase kit at lowrangeoffroad.com. there around $700 though. you will also have to modifiy the tcase a little for the gears to fix in the case but isnt that bad. as for the 5.83 gears that has been like that for over a year.

The closest you are going to get are 5.63 gears which came stock on 1989 1.3L Suzuki Sidekicks.
These are still available from the Factory new, Petroworks lists the front R&P on their site as it fits the Samurai as well. I would contact them as they could probably get you the best price on the pair. Also there are usually a set or two listed on Car-Part.com if you want to go used. If you go that route make sure they actually know they are out of a 1.3L carbed truck.

I also agree  with cmays03 that Tcase gears are a must also.

Lastly are you sure you want to go with the RR kit? They do not actually manufacture any of the parts of that kit. it is a combination of the Old Man Emu suspension and some spring spacers and a body lift. I think if you were to shop around you might get the pieces for less than RR charges for the whole kit.

to be honest I would just make the lift yourself. atleast the body lift the suspension is a little difficult but can be done.
