This Genuine Nissan Crown Wheel and Pinion (CW&P) set is located inside the rear differential housing of your Nissan Patrol Y62. It is a precision-engineered gear set designed to alter the final drive ratio, specifically to correct the gearing for vehicles fitted with larger 35-inch tyres. When you increase your tyre size, the standard gearing becomes too "tall," leading to a loss of performance and increased strain on your vehicle's drivetrain. This gear set restores the original performance characteristics, making your modified vehicle drive as it should.
If you don't correct the differential ratio after fitting larger tyres, your vehicle will feel sluggish and underpowered. The engine and transmission will have to work much harder, causing the automatic gearbox to constantly hunt for the right gear, which increases fuel consumption and generates excessive heat. This sustained strain can lead to premature wear and potential failure of critical drivetrain components, including the transmission and transfer case.
NOTE: Changing ratios may cause your cruise control feature to not work properly on your vehicle. It will allow you to set it, but then quickly cancel it. Seems to be more of an issue with vehicles with adaptive cruise control.
