    VX Gear Box

    Hey guys
    I have a question regarding the gearbox on the VX. This may sound like a daft question but how many gears does the VX have? My Isuzu Rodeo has a 4 speed auto tranny plus overdrive (makes 5 right) but on the VX (99) I can only find 4. Does it not have the overdrive? If so, how do you activate it?

    Thanks

    Your Rodeo only has 3 speeds and overdrive. Sorry, they usually list it as a 4 speed, with the 4th gear being overdrive. Assuming you have a 2nd gen rodeo, its the same auto tranny, the 4L30E

    Yeh sorry your right, its me that can't count. My Rodeo is a 2001.
    I think i'm getting confused with the cruse RPM, on my Rodeo the RPM seems to sit lower than on the VX. Is this because the Rodeo has a "higher" final drive ratio?
    Thanks

    Thanks, that makes sense. Don't suppose you know how to remove the roof lining? I need to remove the roof bars.

    I think that removing the head liner is spelled out in the shop manual. If you don't have one I believe that you can download it from somewhere here on the site.

    Take a look here for a quick how-to:
