Robert stated somewhat that he is going to have Weedle install a .70 5th. This must be the transaxle that Chris Weedle and I discussed earlier in the month. I was wondering if you (Robert) had also changed 3rd and 4th to help with the large gap now residing between 4th and this new 5th or do you think that the engine will pull this OK? Seems that the engine will loose a lot of rpms with a stock 4th and will be sluggish getting up to cruise speed. -Todd Hill VolksWerks Transaxles Olympia, WA |
