I then wired everything to the controller and batteries to test it. I only tested on 12v instead of 120v because i dont have my batteries yet.
The test was successful in that the transmission spun the way it should. It vibrated a bit which means it isn't lined up perfect yet, but i wont worry about that until it's all in the car.
The next step is to figure out how to put the 200 lb tranny/motor back into the car and mount it.

Hey,
cool project, but why don't you use the clutch? It would be much more better to shift with!
I read that it's not good for the bearings of the motor if the crushes of the gearbox are undamped. The torsion springs of the clutch would prevent these crushes!
And it must not vibrate a touch!! Otherwise you will notice it quite much assigned by the motor and gearbox mounting!
I hope all goes well!

Jake,
The video was great to explain what you are doing and see everything in action. It boggles our minds as to how you figure all of this out.
If you present this project to colleges they will be fighting to get you onto their campus.
We are busting with pride.
Love Grandma and Grandpa
Jake I forgot to tell you while Grandpa was watching the video all he could say over and over again was "this is so great, this is so great".
Talk soon.
Love Grandma
