What is the gear ratio on a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder 1992 Jeep?

There's no single gear ratio for a 1992 Jeep with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. The gear ratio depends on several factors:

* Transmission type: A 1992 Jeep Wrangler with a 2.5L could have had different transmissions (manual or automatic, and different gear ratios within those types).

* Transfer case: If it's a 4x4, the transfer case also has gear ratios (e.g., low range) that significantly affect the overall gearing.

* Axle ratios: The final drive ratio in the axles (front and rear) varies depending on the options selected when the vehicle was built. Common axle ratios for that era included 3.07, 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10. This is the most significant factor affecting the overall gear ratio.

To find the gear ratios, you need to look up the specifications for the specific Jeep. This information is often found:

* On a sticker inside the glove compartment or driver's side door jamb: This might list the axle ratio.

* In the owner's manual: If you have the original manual, it should specify the transmission and transfer case ratios.

* Using the vehicle identification number (VIN): You can often use the VIN to decode the specifications online through various resources, including Jeep parts websites or dedicated VIN decoder services.

* By physically inspecting the axles: This is less reliable unless you have experience, but axle tags may provide the ratio.

Without knowing the specific transmission, transfer case, and axle ratios of your particular 1992 Jeep, it's impossible to give you a definitive answer to the gear ratio.
