#1. "skyhiranger" &/or to whom it may concern, according to Trail Tough, the Trackick front ring gear diameter is 6.9", & the Trackick rear ring gear diameter is 7.5".  Is that correct, & would you consider Trail Tough to be a good source of information?

#2. "skyhiranger" &/or to whom it may concern, what's your reaction to the following paragraphs from Boondox Motorsports at the following URL?:

"Manual Transmission: The 5 speed manual transmission used in Suzuki's is quite capable of handling the abuse of off-road use. Unless you are going with a 200+ horsepower engine your stock transmission should be all you will ever need. The gear ratios are 1=3.78:1, 2=1.95:1, 3=1.37:1, 4=1.0:1, 5=0.8:1 and R=3.65:1.

Clutch: Upgrading the stock clutch to a stronger one should be done either during your build or as soon as your stock one starts to fade. A good performance clutch will handle the stress of off-road use with less slippage and more power to the wheels.

3 Speed Automatic: The 3 speed automatic transmission used in Suzuki's is also considered to be a strong transmission. It is called a 3L30 or TH180 and was also used by GM in the Chevette. It has a lock-up torque converter and gear ratios of  1=2.40:1, 2=1.47:1, D=1.0:1 and R=2.0:1

4 Speed Automatic: The 4 speed automatic is also a good transmission. It is called a 03-72LE and is also used by Kia in the Sportage and Sorento. It also has a lock-up torque converter and gear ratios of  1=2.83:1, 2=1.49:1, 3=1.0:1, D=0.73:1 and R=2.7:1"

You also have two different rear ends though.  A 12 bolt and 8 bolt (or is it 10?), so the ring gears will not necessarily swap between different Tracker/Sidekicks.  Trail Tough is a pretty good source for info, I hear they do some after market work with the Suzuki's.  Might just be a rumor though.  :)

And with this, I'm officially ending my support of this thread, as amusing as it's been.  Unless your looking to grind custom gears out of a block of marble you picked up last weekend knowing the diameter really isn't going to do much good.  :P
