fourth gear problem

Hi,
At some stage I changed gearbox from genuine one to same unit but from rangie. Despite problems with length of front propshaft (I've added distance ring), everything goes easy. But...
Gap between 3rd-4th gear is now huuuuge so with ladden car i have to use overdrive between them.
What I need to change to get back lower gearing of 4th gear. How much work it is? And how complicated? Maybe someone have old gearing as i know that same people changing gearing for higher one?
Thanks
Robert
PS It will be not a problem with v8 but i have transit conversion (and lack of power a bit)

If you put the stage 1 high range transfer gears in the RR Box the problem will go away.
A RR Transfer had from memory a 1:1 ration and your stage 1 had 1.336:1
You dont have to pull the box out it can be done in situ

Does it mean that whole gearing is diffrent not only 4th gear? It's make sence.
Does anyone have stage 1 high range transfer gears for sale?

Yes all gear ratios in high will change
Just pull them out of the box you removed from the car
or maybe I have misunderstood your situation

Depending on which year the RR was what the ratio will be, early ratios were 1.174, later 1.0, 1.1227, 0.996. stage 1 and 110 were 1.336

Robert I dont understand the language on the website that I am about to give you a link too but if you look at tht LT95 section you can see the different gear ratios and cog sizes.
The small gear goes on the centre diff

Language looks like Dutch to me (edit - if I'd looked at the URL I would have noticed the ".nl" at the end, which is a good clue
).
You can use this
Babelfish Translation to translate.
I warn you though, Internet translators can produce amusing results and can confuse more than the original language
