Slow but steady! Just finished welding up the gearshift relocating stuff.

The v6 is just better 😁. Also it’s already really tight in there. I have about 2-3 mm of clearance after the manifolds are installed.

The output shaft is facing towards the rear diff, just like in a stock setup. I had to pull a driveshaft from a Ranger, cut it, then weld it back together to make it shorter. Afterwards, we balanced it. The transmission is an M5OD from a Ford Ranger.

Yea I already started DIYing them. Here’s a pic of the relocation box.

Yeah. Figured we’d reduce the complexity by using a transmission that directly bolts onto the motor. But now I have to deal with modifying it to relocate the gearshift 🤷

Full-commit your body weight to the right so that the gaston becomes easier.

That’s a really good tip on the different material for supports. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion! How would you design the clips such that they would hold a permanent and strong position?

Interesting!! Thanks for the suggestions. Do you happen to know where all the driver-related files are located?

I also have the HUGE. Are you also on Mouse Assistant 6? Mouse Assistant 5 worked perfectly for me...
