Yours is an M21. There was an M22 Saginaw with 2.85 1st which was standard fitment to 6cyl HK utes/vans if you ordered a 4spd. The M22 was also used on HT 186S if ordered with heavy duty 4spd.

as for why... you probably understand the difference between a low ratio diff (say a 4.11) and a high ratio (say 2.78). To understand the gearbox ratio difference all you need to do is multiply the ratio by your rear gear ratio to get your final drive rat
