I'd love to see a diesel car run on a gear ratio that let's it cruise at 80kmph without having to press the acc pedal.

[@soulwarrior7721]

That would be more of a Transmission thing. Like semi's with 16 gears..

[@Shan2nu]

@@soulwarrior7721 Yea, either a taller gear ratio or a taller final drive ratio. Most diesels I've driven can do about 50-60kmph without throttle input in their tallest gear. Making the ratio a bit more taller should let it move at 80kmph without throttle, making it very fuel economical.

I used to work at a place that had an old 1-ton dump truck. 4-speed manual with 4-wheel drive. The boss told me to go clear out the bigger rocks from the lot across the road and to take the 1-ton. At first I'd just spot some rocks and stop to gather them up them move on. Then I decided to just put it in 4-low and into first which was basically a "granny gear" even without the reduction of the low range. I set the truck in motion, then just got out and walked beside it and tossed the rocks in as it went. It was a tiny bit faster than this at idle but not by much. Made the task easy though. I did about 5 or 6 passes North to South then South to North across the lot, moving about 50 feet Westward each time I turned around. Within about 2 hours, I was done. I got back to the shop and the bos asked me. "Who'd you get to drive the truck while you picked up the stones?" I said "The truck drove itself. I just put 'er in the Granny-low and walked along with it" He liked that. "That's using the ol' noodle! Most of these young guys I get in here would have kept stopping and getting out and riding to the next spot. Those guys are just young, dumb and full of c*m, but not a lot of brains."

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

cool story bro

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

I did similarly in the late 2000s in my 50's Ford M151 US Army jeep. It only had 2.3L I4 with 71HP (53kW) and 128ft/lbs (174 N-m). In 1st gear, 4-Lo, with just a slight bit of choke, it easily climbed 30° hill, through the weeds and undergrowth. Which was even with the original, narrow non-directional tires (the classic style) that had poor traction. Was a scrappy lil' bugger!! 😊 _[Fun Fact: the non-directional tires were used because then if the enemy came across your tracks, they couldn't tell if you were coming or going.]_

[@Enjoymentboy]

This is very much like the jeep a buddy uses for rock crawling. It has a 144:1 "granny gear" and at idle it can tow his F150 with no issue. It doesn't tow it quickly but it is just brutally strong torque.

[@digitalchaos1980]

What engine does the Jeep have, if I may ask?

[@Enjoymentboy]

@@digitalchaos1980 Pretty sure it is a stroked 4.0L inline 6. Haven't seen him in 4 or 5 years but I'm 99% sure that's what he had in it last. I know he wanted to do a cummins 6BT swap but hadn't the last time I saw him.

[@cowthedestroyer]

ive got a 90 d250 with the np435 it has a 6.62:1 first gear and can idle loads and idle uphill but it does even better in reverse at 8.21:1. I havent met the mountain it cant pull.

[@digitalchaos1980]

@@Enjoymentboy Hell yeah, those engines are torquey as hell! I have a 4.0 in my 2003 Jeep WJ, and although the chassis is heavier than other models with that engine, it still pulls pretty respectively! They have a few issues in the last years, but they're pretty bulletproof engines otherwise. I would love to do the stroke kit to mine some day soon.

[@gearhead1234]

How about installing two transmissions inline. The front transmission is left alone, but the rear trans is installed first same orientation as the front transmission for selectable gear reduction. Then install trans backwards, with the input going in the tail shaft, for the ultimate overdrive transmission. To save space, you could cut off the bell housing from the rear transmission. Cheers! 🍻

I mean he basically built a single input transmission with a high gear ratio. one speed.... and that speed is yes.

[@rossbrumby1957]

That's the best looking Lada I've seen- utes are not only functional but cool too. Maybe you should've fitted that nutbuster behind the gearbox to keep the reverse option- and as a bonus in any gear lower than top, it would be slower!

🤣🤣😂 when he said how am I going to back up there's no reverse gear I f****** lost it LOL that's funny s***

[@modelnutty6503]

hysterical and well done, but two transmissions linked in line might be cheap fun. single clutch with shift linkages connected so both work the same reductions.. highest gear speed would be near same but I'd expect a huge jump from 3rd to 4th, 1st 2nd 3rd would probably have the power of a forklift.

[@Monni95]

Instead of crawling at low speeds, you're supposed to try pulling heavy trailer or car and see it not stall...

[@dalton456]

Would be interesting to see a transmission input into a transmission

[@fuge74]

you would just get a long transmission. they make those. for 12 speed.

[@dalton456]

I think you would end up with a bunch of gear ratios though. And if I'm thinking about it right technically you would end up having like five reverse gears

[@PedroFerrer-vq5sw]

Before the days of 9, 13 and 18 speeds they used two transmissions. You had two separate shift levers but 1 clutch pedal, only for the first trans.

[@dalton456]

I think it was what usually like a five and a four. I knew about it whenever I made the comment. Just would have been interesting to see these guys take a crack at it.

[@Birb_of_Judge]

[@rossbrumby1957]

Can you see if you can build a CVT transmission in a size to suit a lada, which is manually controlled for the ratio selection? Would be interesting to see the accelerator planted, but speed and acceleration determined by how fast the gear lever is slid forward! Maybe you could build a Nu Vinci bicycle style CVT in a size to suit a car- fascinating how they work.

So in Russian the colloquial term is "meatgrinder"? Interesting because in Croatian the colloquial term is "Russian wrench" (Cro: "Ruski ključ).

[@bobbybowers4065]

You should have put that after the gearbox so you would still have a gear selection

[@jakubkrcma]

And even more reduction in low gears... 🤣

[@madmod]

[@marv8481]

Something that would be a great addition to this build would be to replace the engine with a beefy hobby grade RC motor. see if a RC motor could power a lada. that would be pretty cool

[@akinori1505]

imagine the torque

[@fuge74]

speed: yes; gear: has one; direction: forward. the issues were caused by the fact there is no disconnect. you can try to reverse cycle the engine, but that is a lot of resistance. which is why the breaks fight the engine. you cannot rev the engine because at 1:58 a 2000rpm change is all of .5 mph. btw I am surprised the impact wrench didn't just melt/shred itself.

[@jjohnston94]

Put the meat grinder between the engine and the clutch so you can have reverse and freewheel. Then, turn the meat grinder around so you get a land speed record car.

[@vipervidsgamingplus5723]

You wouldn't get a record, a one to fifty eight gear ratio would have all the top end that the engine is capable of without torque. A fifty to one ratio, which they are using, has a huge amount of torque and no real speed.

[@nickigilbert7295]

I'm on my daughter's KZbin. Person 1: It seems a little slow today. Person 2: Today??!! 😂

[@jimciancio9005]

I'm sure someone has already said this? But here goes: Leaving the original manual gear box in the vehicle and put either a reduction or a over drive gear box after the gear box kind of like a transfer case with high and low ratios but more of an extreme ratio difference? To have a choice of multiple over drives especially when the world's fuel is extremely expensive these days we need all the extra help we can get with getting our money's worth out of our fuels! I wish my Honda civic had an extra overdrive now! @ 40+ mpg now it definitely has more than enough power left in overdrive to have another one! Why they didn't make it a bigger ratio difference or added an additional gear? IDK? But they're more than capable of getting well above 45 mpg or better if it was properly equipped with a better transmission or ratios for this matter!

[@EpicATrain]

[@ashiehakoto1490]

and that's effectively a low range crawling gearbox. i estimate you're probably getting close to 1100-1200ft/lbs of torque to the wheels at idle. and assuming both the chassis and the "meat grinder" gearbox can take the load, which I highly doubt, you have close to a 5 tonne pulling strength. so basically if you went and made a offroad crawler out of this, that's enough reduction with the right tires to go just about anywhere. forward. at a walking pace.

It was surprisingly easy, most parts were the same, I really don't think you can mess up if you take each part off and place it onto a wire on your work service so you can't mix up the order of parts.
