Transmission choice
GreenHornet you are right about the t5. Readily available and cheap is the way to go. I doodled with the gear ratios to see what we would get. See attached. I really like my Miata 6 speed in my Midget but it’s long, heavy, and required a great deal of modification to the tail housing. I would recommend against putting one in a Midget as it was a pain. The 6 speed ratios work well in the 1800 lb car however. A low 1st gear is important when power is low and with a redline of 3000 rpm, I try to shift at 2200, the gears shouldn’t be too far apart. In PA where I live it’s up hill, both ways. One regret from the GGP is not asking Jerry to trade cars for a bit. I’m curious how other Kubota powered cars drive.
The % to the right of the ratio is the difference between that gear and the one above it.
