Need to nail down some basics here. Are you using the Forward = planet=20 set or the Rear? Forward can be mixed with various forward = versions=20 but don't mix F. & R. gears.

Also, nothing is ever simple. The above is just a general = rule. =20 There are a LOT of different versions of the C6, E4OD, etc. =

The ring gear is fixed. Prop shaft is = driven=20 off the planet gear
assembly. It is a 3-planet gear = set. I=20 seem to remember Joe saying
that it was the Ford gearset. = But that=20 was a long time ago, and it all
seems so fuzzy now. Jeesh, = am I=20 getting old?

Tracy, can you swap out the planet set willy-nilly = like=20 that, or is it
asking for trouble sho-nuff?
