Re: Low Engine C of G / Inverted Gearboxes

Malcolm, You are right; you can use a different sensor. Being, shall we say, thrifty, I used the existing one. It does go to an adjuster box first which performs two functions: 1) adjust the pulses per mile for the American made computer and speedo (although my Classic Instruments speedo can do the adjustment alone) and 2) acts as a repeater to enhance the signal strength for both as well.

Bill, it has been so long since I did it that my memory is a little fuzzy. I have it written down somewhere, but it seems to me that it was between 3 and 4 quarts of Redline MT90. Good point on checking for filings; just remember to drain a bit of oil out first since the orifice is below the full level [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Some will drill and tap a hole at the intersection of the webbing at the new "full" location, but I didn't think it was worth taking the chance of getting metal shavings in the transaxle.

Regards,
Lynn
