Subject:      EV Conversion of an '84 Vanagon with Automatic Transmission?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Being still far from the financial liquidity to start my project I have a
question:
I know that many EV conversions leave the manual transmission as an
interface to the drive train and to have that torque converting gear range
option!
But to invest energy into a lossy automatic transmission, I never heard
about!
I also see that the differential is integrated in the vanagon transmission
( http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=3862 ), so what do people do
in such a case? Replace the differential?


Using two motors is probably not an option since I would like to do AC
drive!


Thanks for any recomendations!


Tobias
