Question All JSpec RX7's had 4.3 ratio Diffs??

I remember reading this in another thread, and wanted to confirm.


Yes? No?

Or, was this just true for the limited run Infinity series?

Yo,


All the greatest RX-7's have 4.3 rear gears. Like the Infinity IV...and the GTUs. *wink*

That's incorrect. Only the high-end performance models like the Infini got them. I don't know why the GTUs had one...

4.1 final drive ratio for a 5spd.
3.9 final drive ratio for an automatic.

I have also heard that all the manual tranny JDM FCs were 4.3, but have only founf one written place that describes that. I typically don't call it fact until I get two.

Ok, then.......

Who has the Japan connection that will jack up the rear, turn the rear diff. half shaft one full turn and report back if the drive shaft turned 4.1 or 4.3 turns.
