When you shift into four-wheel drive, the transfer case engages a set of gears that changes the direction of the power flow from the engine. The power is then sent to the front and rear axles, where it is distributed to the wheels through the differentials.
The gear ratio of the transfer case and axles determines how much torque is applied to the wheels. A lower gear ratio will provide more torque, but it will also reduce the top speed of the vehicle. A higher gear ratio will provide less torque, but it will allow the vehicle to reach a higher top speed.
The gear ratio of your Jeep Comanche is likely to be around 2.72:1. This means that for every 2.72 revolutions of the engine, the wheels will rotate once. This gear ratio provides a good balance of torque and speed for off-road driving.
Here is a more detailed explanation of how the four-wheel drive gear ratio works:
* The engine produces power, which is sent to the transmission.
* The transmission shifts the power to the appropriate gear, which determines the speed of the vehicle.
* The power is then sent to the transfer case, which engages the four-wheel drive system.
* The transfer case changes the direction of the power flow from the engine, and sends it to the front and rear axles.
* The differentials in the axles distribute the power to the wheels.
* The gear ratio of the transfer case and axles determines how much torque is applied to the wheels.
A lower gear ratio will provide more torque, but it will also reduce the top speed of the vehicle. A higher gear ratio will provide less torque, but it will allow the vehicle to reach a higher top speed.
The gear ratio of your Jeep Comanche is likely to be around 2.72:1. This means that for every 2.72 revolutions of the engine, the wheels will rotate once. This gear ratio provides a good balance of torque and speed for off-road driving.
