Subject:      Rebuild tranny with taller 3rd or 4th--yes or no??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Hello from Atlanta, Ga.  I am about to order a rebuilt air cooled transaxle,
and I am considering purchasing the gear modification option of a taller 3rd
or 4th gear---the option that lowers highway-speed rpms and thus reportedly
increases engine life and gives better gas mileage. Questions:  Has anyone
done this modification, and what good or bad results can I expect?  The
modification/new gearing seems to add about $250.00 to the cost of the
rebuilt transaxle unit.  Thanks!


Regards,


Michael and Christina Nichols
