Ernest,
What ratio are the gearset in your redrive ? If the outer (ring gear) of
the drive is fixed (pressed into housing) and the planet has four gears
and if they are Ford (C6 or E4OD) the ratio will be 2.85 to 1....... You
need to ask Tracy if the E4OD six pinion planetary will retrofit the to the
four pinion planetary ring gear and sun gear........FWIW
