Does anyone have any info on swapping in the big bear first gear into a wolverine?

 

Yeah I know how to do it, and have done it. Are you wanting to gear you Wolverine higher for more top speed??

 

No, not top end, more bottom end grunt, have sofar found out i need:

5EH-17211-00-00 1st wheel gear
5EH-17411-00-00 mail axle shaft (part numbers from 2002 bigbear

I dont know if i need to do the segment. Any optinions?
And is there anything else i forgot?

 

sorry i cant help you much, but i have a similar question. can you put wolvy 4th and 5th gears in a big bear. SpDdEmOn, how much top-end did you gain with that top-end gear box setup, how much bottom end did you loose, and how much did it cost not including installation? thanks

 

Well when I did fourth and fifth in mine it makes a higher gear ratio. Actually 4th gear pinion and wheel out of a Big Bear go where 5th gear pinion and wheel no the Wolverine are and then 5th wheel and pinion for the Big Bear go where 4th pinion and wheel on a Wolveine are. I dont know if this will give you a lower ratio or not. It might not even work. If it works with the gears you will have to change other shifting components as well. You dont loose any bottom end at all because its just changing the two highest gear's ratios. I dont know how much top speed it will give you Im still working on some things. Call Mickey Dunlap and he can do it for you, its $250 which is a pretty good deal and I think that includes him building it for you.
