Rather than use the VW tranny up front, I think I will do the following.
Shift the Warp 9 (still unpurchased) to the rear, like in the plans. This will of course, cause the Rear_Assembly to get modded a little.
While I'm in the modding mood, I'll add another gear (a high gear) to the setup, and change the existing gears to something lower, for improved acceleration. All of this will be belt driven.
The reason for this was several fold. First, I thought it was just a little expensive for an adaptor plate and coupling to cost $800+. I also thought that the front half-shafts were expensive, especially for non-aluminum. Lastly, a vast amount of space is now available for batteries! ;D
