Working on another modified roadster (rear engine this time) and trying to puzzle the output shaft speed. My engine makes it's power from 7000-9200, and my trans choices have 18-20% overdrive (could have 11,000 rpm pinion speed). Has anyone had experience pumping lube to the extension housing bushing on the trans, and/or the pinion bearings on the diff?
I ran the old 797 roadster at 9000 RPM on the pinion gear, in 1998, but it's trans had a roller bearing on the output flange (and I was still on short course in those days). I don't have that option with my parts on hand (and the car will need to go long eventually).
Thanks for any advice/experience!
