nitrostarter - I was using 1st gear in the old trans (smallest gear on the input and largest main gear). What's the difference between that 1st wide and 1st close? I definitely don't want that 1st wide ratio........
Got the trans mounts done. Offset to the one side as far as I can go. I'm going to mount the motors before drilling the holes in the mounts. I'd hate to drill them to find out they don't clear the chassis plates.
