this thread is going in circles

Mysticle I can only repeat the advice everyone else has given in a similar yet different way. I would establish a budget, meaning find out how much money you really have and want to spend on this powertrain. Once you have a concrete dollar figure I would give Jake a call and tell him what you want. This takes all of the pain out of number crunching and research. He has done all of the work for you already you just have to call and tell him what you want. The biggest difference you have to consider between a type 1 tranny and all of the ones you just listed is 4 gears vs. 6. That means they have to be taller which in turn means a wider power band to optimize the gearing (i.e. type 4). Save your money for awhile and call Mr. Raby. And it may be helpful to take a cruise in a beetle so you can get an idea for how little power you need to make them fly. With 200 ponies you would damn near kill yourself.
