Gears?!

[Jeeppicus]

This isn't the normal what gears should I use, its a what gears do I have question. On my 75 CJ-5, I tore half the teeth off my front ring and I'm trying to get a new one. The only problem is I don't know what the gearing is. I counted the gears and there are about 55 and on the ring it has the numbers 12 10 73, 33428 43084, 47-11, and 091. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Nevermind guys, false alarm. I figured it out, I have 4.27 gears. Now I just have to find someone that sells that ratio, that'll be the fun part. :?

The important number on the ring gear for determining your gear ratio was 47-11, dividing 47 (ring gear teeth) by 11 (pinion teeth).

4.27 is correct, check Drivetrain Direct or Randy's Ring and Pinion.

I really don't know how I did it, but I was in a mud hole and the front stopped grabbing and got me stuck (I swear if I had 4wd I wouldve got out. :mrgreen: ) I just ordered my new set from 4wd.com

Your guess is as good as mine, this Jeep has gotten around like a cheap hooker, the last owner didn't even have it long enough to get the registration papers back.

Yep. 3.73 was the most used between 72-75, but the 4.27 was a fairly common option.
