Re: Transaxle design

A quick reread of your post Jmac leads me to believe that you think I am mounting the trans ahead of the quick change when I am actually rear mounting the trans. As for torque this is something that I have thought about and have a few ideas on how to adress. Some of my ideas are out there but this will not cost me a lot of money to prototype.I have a friend who runs an A fuel dragster and things like 300M shafts and the like are not that hard to come by as he has ordered this stuff from both prints and from sending in a cobbed together shafts for them to reproduce.Mr earp I also seen the belt drive idea and I feel that its not practical. I honestly believe that I can come within about 2 to 3 inches of the bellhousing to center of output based on the pics I have seen.If you look at the input shaft on the quick change then you will see that the engine position will be very low indeed.
