Depends on what gearbox and back axle is fitted: 4-speed or 5-speed?

With the later 5-speed transmission and back axle there are various different CWP options, as that back axle was used in various vehicle ranging from Rover SD1 to the Sherpa van.

Hi, It's a a 5 speed and I have already searched for the CWP of the SD1 and there are only options with longer gears. For the van i searched online but I can't find anything. There are other options? Thanks.

Looks like most owners get more power by fitting a sprint or v8 engine so want taller gearing. Only suggestion I can offer is fitting a 4 speed axle and then possibly changing its standard Triumph 3.63 ratio for a 4.11. However this might not be as straight forward as it appears....
