Autos have a slightly higher diff ratio than the manual.
5.12 to 1 manual
4.8 to 1 auto
Some thing like that.
Cheers MIKE.

Yes bit of a prop there.
Vitara/Escudo do suffer from being geared to tall.
If you need to buy some manual diff gears it will change you’r over all ratio, But not as much as lower transfer case gears. Which I am currently doing to my 1600 8 valve. Think its about NZ$1000, from memory. (Bad memory)
But iv got 5.1 manual gears any way.
Cheers MIKE

All the 16v 1600 auto's I looked at all had 5.12 gears . I have not found any yet ( one sitting at pick a part but no time to check
) but I have been told it is only the 1600 carb 3sp auto's that had 4.62 gears .
So you most probably have all 5.12's .
