Thought of an interesting topic---has anybody put a beefed up bus or t1 trans in the teener----

I loved the gear spacing on my old superbug--and first gear for my car,,well,,,sucks ass--and second is too tall for a good start off--

Would rather spend 650 bucks on a pro-streeter WITH a rhino case and super diff than thousands upgrading my 901--

Sand rail mid engine cable shifter should be able to be adapted rather easily and the trans install is a non-event...

What you think???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Andys---I do admit I have not done this kind of math in a long time, and I do not have my cheat book auto math in front of me--but to kinda look at this from the other side of the coin: Lets say that high gear is 1:1 + a 4.429:1 R&P , net ratio = 4.429 A .71 and .84 high gear is less than one--we are taking away--hence, subtraction, I do remember that much from the pre algebra course I took ( I am not a mathematician, and do not claim to be, I use cheat sheets all the time) [Edited] (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

jwalters,

I have never seen gear ratio's calculated as you have, and I beleive them to be in error. I have attached a link to an easy to use gear ratio speed chart that will hopefully demonstrate the proper outcome. Just plug in the numbers. I think this would be easier than to debate on this forum. I hope you find this helpful, and leads to an accurate outcome. Also, I hope this VW Bus transaxle thing has some potential. It is an interesting and simple alternative. Good Luck.
