In this transmission the TC also happens to be the pressure regulator for the ATF pump, so no I can't remove it.

I actually wanted the extra torque multiplication because of the rather small motor I am using. Most people drop this motor in a vehicle that is half the weight of my Civic and get the same results as I am getting, which is really good for me.

The only thing I have found is that my motor gets hot if I drive below 25 MPH, because below that the internal fan doesn't do enough, and am I building a blower cooler to solve that problem.

I have about 50 EV miles on it so far, and finding ways to improve it each time I drive!
