OK, it's me again. The Outside-The-Box thinker.
Is it true that a transmission acts as a torque multiplier?
6,000 RPM in, 300 Ft Lbs,
3:1 gear reduction Transmission Ratio
2,000 RPM out, 1,200 Ft Lbs?
If you put the transmission directly in front of the Differential (independent rear suspension), could you use a driveshaft from the back of the engine to the front of the transmission that only needs to be 1/3rd as strong, and as heavy?
Just a theoretical question.
