Differentials
A differential is a mechanical device that transfers torque from one shaft to two other shafts. These devices are frequently used in the automotive industry and come in a variety of forms depending on the application.

What is the stock gear ratio of a 1995 Chevrolet s-10?
There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.
2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.
How often do you change the front differential fluid?
That depends on the vehicle and driving conditions. Check your owner's manual. It could be at 12,000 miles or at 80,000 miles.
How do you know about a truck's axle ratio weight distribution?
Well, once you get loaded and if the customer has a scale, you simply use that scale. Since most scales found at a customer only take an overall gross weight, you have to axle out. You roll your steer axle onto the scale and stop. Then you read off what your weight is with just the steer axle. Then you pull forward until your drive axles are on the scale, and stop again. The weight you have now is the combined weight of all the axles on the power unit - subtract your previous weight from your steer axle from that, and you have your drive axle weights. Then you pull forward until all axles are on the scale. Subtract the weight you got with just the steer and drive axles on the scale from the gross weight, and you've got your trailer axle weights.
How many teeth on a ring gear and pinion gear for 4.10 gear ratio?
41 teeth on the ring gear, 10 on the pinion gear.

How do you find your rear axle gear ratio?

Rear axle casting number 9779822 what does it go to?
I know that this rear is a gm standard 10 bolt, and Pontiac used it in the 64-66 gto, tempest, and le mans.

Can oversize tires damage gearbox or diff?
No, but they can effect handling, braking, ride, mileage, and the accuracy of your speedometer.
When a drive gear with 15 teeth makes one full rotation how far has the driven gear rotated?
It depends on the number of teeth on the driven gear. If it has 15, then it makes one revolution. If 30, then one half of a revolution.
How do you find out gear ratios?

How can you tell if your car has positraction?
THE METAL TAG ON THE DIFF COVER BOLT WILL TELL YOU IF IT IS A POSI OR OPEN DIFF.
What does a rear-locking differential do?
To take care of unequal torque power distribution, the selectable (manual) and automatic locking rear differentials were developed. The wheels of a car fitted with a locking differential will have the same rotational speed as they are interlinked or locked in relative motion to each other. Regardless of the traction (friction) experienced by a wheel, the rotational speed is maintained and to be the same for both. Locking rear differential offers better traction for wheels compared to the open one.
How do you replace a 1994 Toyota Camry differential assembly?
This is my basic self-taught method that saves time w/o removing the transmission from vehicle. I am replacing 1991 A-140e auto trans differential w/ snap-ring axle spline ends (notbolted axle ends). Remove both axles from differential. You can find instructions in most manuals or online. Have both sides of vehicle jacked up w/supports. Remove the 2 bottom motor/trans support brackets. Loosen long bolt (do not remove completely) the passenger side upper motor mount (this will lower the trans. slightly for clearance). Drain diff. fluid. Remove 4 steering rack bracket bolts. You will need to carefully push the steering rack up out of the way in order to remove differential gear assembly. Remove driver side bearing plate and the back plate. Carefully remove speedometer worm gear located at top of differential. On inside diff. case, remove 2 bolts from carrier bearing hold-down bracket. Carefully, pull out Diff. assembly - it has to be angled just-right (it will come-out) in order for clearance. I went to Auto Zone to "borrow" bearing puller/installer tools. Ordered replacement carrier bearings w/ race from WIT-Trans Parts online. Make sure to check bearing stamp ID for exact match. I noted that the differential gears have an unusual amount of play and I still may need to pull a used diff. from yard in addition to replacing bearings/race. Good Luck.
Why use different gear sizes to get same gear ratio?
The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth in the cogs, so 10 and 20 teeth produces the same effect as 20 and 40.
As for why you'd use different sizes, it can depend on the size of the case or housing of whatever transmission, differential, drivetrain, etc. that is involved. Obviously, you'd use larger gears so they can withstand heavier use.
How can you tell what rear end you have?
get your owner manuel out. look at the VIN number on your vehicle. then in handbook read how to translate the vin number.vin number has the information you need also should be a tag attached to one of the bolts on the rear end with the ratio stamped on that tag
What is the gear ratio on a 1991 Aerostar?
There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.
2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.

try the linkage ajustment on the side of the tranny
