Gav's EV Conversion 6 - The New Gearbox

[jestarsrace06]

Neighboors dog: blast it!

[spokehedz]

Two words: Power Washer.

Best $75 I ever spent.

Brown Upholstery? BLAST IT.

Grey outdoor furniture? BLAST IT.

Something otherwise dirty? BLAST THE HECK OUT OF IT.

Just be sure to keep the nozzle far away when you start it, so you don't peel off carpet/plastic/skin

should have taken the old junk to scrap metal, would have gotten some money + it's good for the environment to recycle :P

[nerdzilla2948]

Isn't it bad for it to wash it out with soap and water?

[lifeinhd]

Wow, you're sure big on cleanliness, aren't you? ;)

[awfargit]

It would have been nice to know just how much weight you pulled out of the car in petrol parts......

[redhotcustoms]

wow, $30 less than the car itself, just for a transaxle!

[RoadRunnerLaser]

LOL - All the power and performance of two children !

[cant7think7clearly]

I reckon the engine was fine after all, we didn't know until we saw the REAL reason the car didn't go - the gearbox was dead. It's a pity as I could have sold it.

[khrisinfo]

Old gearbox.

[slainwolf180]

This might seem like a odd question but did the engine go ? someone might have been able to use it

KTA Services was in business for a long time and was helpful to me last year. Unfortunately the owner, Ken Koch, is retired, tried to sell his company but had no takers... So you will get a voice message when you call but doubtful anyone (a live person) will answer. We are converting a 2000 Ford Ranger this year and going through the same conversion process. We will be working with Ivy Tech Community College in East Chicago, Indiana where students will learn more about EV conversion.

Hehehe, KTA Services and I didn't seem to hit it off for some reason. You can see why in the next video (Step 7 - Buying the Motor)

;)

Hey Gav do you know of any company that sells a one speed reduction gearbox for reasonably cheap?

[DeLorean4]

KTA Services eh? I'm going to try out Electro Automotive for my conversion.

[coreymon77]

hooray new gearbox!
