Need to nail down some basics here. Are you using the Forward planet
set or the Rear? Forward can be mixed with various forward versions
but don't mix F. & R. gears.
Also, nothing is ever simple. The above is just a general rule.
There are a LOT of different versions of the C6, E4OD, etc.

The ring gear is fixed. Prop shaft is driven
off the planet gear
assembly. It is a 3-planet gear set. I
seem to remember Joe saying
that it was the Ford gearset. But that
was a long time ago, and it all
seems so fuzzy now. Jeesh, am I
getting old?
Tracy, can you swap out the planet set willy-nilly like
that, or is it
asking for trouble sho-nuff?
