Stock 4th in an 1987 syncro is 0.85
I put in a 0.78

My Syncro 094 AAN box has a 5.43 final drive ratio.  (Canadian version)
This is higher than 091 2wd boxes.  For example, a 1986 DU has a 0.85 4th
and a 4.86 final drive ratio.
So putting in a taller 4th in the syncro makes it closer to the 2WD.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.
