How many gears are you using?

So I get that 1 component that is needed on a 2wd is wheel speed and to get that, you need a automatic. Now, how many are you using? 3 gears? All 4?

No need for an Auto really. Lynn's 2wd still uses an NV4500 with a 4.63 rearend gear pulling in 2nd gear.

kinda hard to use an automatic and get the right wheel speed unless you rob a 4wd of its transfer case, or do some creative thinking on a rearend and gear selection (really slow gears).. Even then with out a transfer case, usually the only gear you would be able to shift to would be second gear, maybe 3rd on some tranny's but i highly doubt it.
