Recently changed out my existing gear box & transfer box with a used set (unknown history) that I have had for a few years. No changes were made to the 200tdi engine. I have never separated the installed set. There was/is a noticeable lack of power in the lower gears compared to the old set & I feel like it cruises better than the old one on the freeway at 70, unless I hit an incline & it under performs like the lower gears. Barring a rebuild, what is the difference between the two transfer boxes pictured? One has a 1.222 ratio & the other has a 1.211 ratio. Would it be enough to notice or do I have something else going on? The 1.211 is the transfer box that is under powered & currently installed.
