Re: [DML] Transaxle question

Toby,

The Renault tranny in the DeLorean is a R30 type 4141-80. The final drive
ratio is 3:44:1. However, you may want to persuade him to look at the
Renault 21 Turbo 5-speed box built into a Renault 30 casing with the Renault
30 5th gear for that swap due to the weak input shaft of the DeLorean tranny
and that its only good up to 250 hp. Most of the GT40 replicas have Ford 351
motors (if he's going that route)


Hope this helps,

Duke
