Subject:Re: Robert's .70 5th gear transaxle

Robert stated somewhat that he is going to have Weedle
install a .70 5th.  This must be the transaxle that Chris
Weedle and I discussed earlier in the month.  I was wondering
if you (Robert) had also changed 3rd and 4th to help with
the large gap now residing between 4th and this new 5th
or do you think that the engine will pull this OK?  Seems
that the engine will loose a lot of rpms with a stock 4th
and will be sluggish getting up to cruise speed.
