i am asking this question with only the experience back in college years of putting a buick v-6 in a 1953 willys, no race car experience etc......
 
auto transmissions have special fluid and coolers because of the torque converters, right?  manual transmissions just have gear lube, which, it seems, you put in and basically forget about.  what is different about the PSRU redrive from a manual transmission?  why can't it be self-contained with gear lube and forgotten?  are planetary gears different from a manual transmission?  are they fed with an oil flow and coolers in trucks?  i'm sure all of this has already been answered and thought out.  ken said he keeps his redrive lube separate from the dirty engine oil.  why are tracy's redrives plumbed as part of the engine oil flow?   kevin (just curious)
