Superfast Crownwheel and Pinion

From £6160 + VAT INCLUDING FITTING

To make long distance travel more enjoyable in a Unimog we have developed a “super-fast” crown wheel & pinion to suit most Unimogs with 6 bolt axles.

They can be fitted into standard axle casings without modification and original Mercedes seals & bearings are used upon assembly.

The 24:11 ratio gives a 17% gain on the Mercedes “fast” ratio and a massive 44% increase on the standard crown wheel & pinion ratio.

The benefits include:

  • More relaxed cruising.
  • Reduction in engine revs at same cruising speed.
  • Reduction in noise levels.
  • Reduction in fuel consumption.
  • Increased range.
  • Improved usability
  • Increased re-sale value.

A higher top speed is also possible where conditions allow for this to be safely achieved.

Details

The crown wheels & pinions are made in Europe to top standards by a manufacturer who specialises in truck differentials & gears.

Because of the change in ratio your speedometer will no longer be accurate. We recommend fitting our electronic speedo - £615+VAT

A further advantage over buying new crown wheels & pinions from Mercedes is that the “diff casing” does not need to be changed. This costs over £1500+VAT in addition to the costs for the Crown wheel & pinions.

Unimog owners who have upgraded to our superfast crownwheel & pinion are universally thrilled with the results.

Feedback

“We drove down to Harwich with a huge smile on our faces. We even could talk to each other and fully understood each other. Before it was impossible to talk and understand while driving.”

“We are now able to pass trucks easy on the motorways, we did not even think about that before!!! Amazing result!”

"We've had a good trip home. Truck drives wonderful. Didn't expect it will drive so quick :-)"
