Sure, it has been done many times. Years ago one prominent tranny
rebuild vendor actually marketed it in kit form as a cheaper way to get
the taller gearing in a wbx van. That was back when they were a lot more
plentiful. I'm sure it was mentioned on this list over 10 years ago. I
don't think you will be satisfied for long using that with an ALH
though. What rear tire size?
