MiTasol, thanks for the idea. I think I'm going to try to find or perhaps make a planetary gearbox for it. It greatly simplifies the design, keeps it balanced and compact and (I think) transfers the power efficiently. But, it's good to have a fallback plan if that doesn't work out. I have to admit I'm not much of a "car guy". So, I don't know much about what might be available in that area. I rebuilt my own motorcycle engines and transmissions back in my teens, but never messed around with car transmissions at all.
