great design work on the bolt-on transmissions, and front axle) The original transmission for sure take up some space in the first place...Tell me, is the advantages with 3 speeds so big, that one easily look away from the space and backlash issues? I just got compact servonaut 1 speed planetary gearmotors in my trucks, never personally missed the 3 speeds, with the large steps between them, I must admit. But sometimes I'm thinking it could be fine with a second speed to choose from with full load in the steepest hills, just like a 'kick down'. Say one speed is 1:1, and speed 2 is 1:1.25, quite close step.
