Hello everybody,
Right now I'm in a big trouble with my rear axle differential. Short story is I need to turn the pinion(propshaft)in reverse direction to get forward move of the car. This is due to my gearbox which have opposite input to output shaft rotation. So if/when engine crank turns anticlockwise(watching forward), the propshaft turns clockwise which is obviously the opposite to almost 100% of all RWD car diff pinion rotation. My idea is to turn over my rear axle(and diff)so when propshaft turns the pinion clockwise car will have forward move.
So, what if I turn the diff's hypoid gear mesh in reverse direction? Also my pinion will be more on the top of the diff housing instead more to the bottom as been designed.
Thanks!
