I have also considerd the Honda type front drive tranny turned sideways but its total drive reduction along with rear IRS pig WOULD likely be to great. Even in high gear you still have the ring and pinion reduction in the Honda Car tranny.
I have a honda tranny here to and yup I can curl it. Its why in an earlier post I put I may consider the motor up front and a LONG chain back to the Honda tranny. No over heating of the chain that long. But the long chain WILL need a great guard around it and as Fabr mentioned a way to control the chain from getting to off track/wild.Not really looking for the clutch part so much. I have also considerd the Honda type front drive tranny turned sideways but its total drive reduction along with rear IRS pig WOULD likely be to great. Even in high gear you still have the ring and pinion reduction in the Honda Car tranny. In a nutshell I am trying to imitate a Dwarf car driveline. But instead of a bike motor feeding right into a rear straight axle like they usually do I want reverse. (and IRS. But the driveshaft does not care what it hooks to!)Instead of the crazy price for an inline reverser gearbox I am looking for a small weight penalty for a LARGE dollar savings. A lil drag I will have to deal with. The added ranges of the other gears would not be bad either.But no one makes a two speed reversing light weight (and strong) manual tranny I know of...
The Silva is known as 240SX here in the States, I think. How about front engine rear tranny, cant remember which vehicle it was from. Have to do some search.
