The gears were from Ford C6 transmissions.   The damper plate on my Ross was=
 a marine drive part, or so I was told.  All the gears were modified except f=
or the planet carrier so replacement is not a drop in job on the ring and su=
ns gears.

The RWS drive had very different construction details, E4-OD gears so no com=
patibility between the two.
