I got myself a couple 901s to play with, and just got the first one apart. I had read somewhere that the ratios could be changed because gear sets could be flipped around to make different ratios. (like 2nd could be flipped and used as 5th for a different 5th gear ratio) I haven't started pulling things off of shafts yet, but it looks like some gears are actually cast into the shaft. is this the case or is it just an illusion? Am I nuts to try this gear shuffle things? (I have 3 901s to pull gears from) (I'm shooting for better ratios for a V8 conversion)
