No I have a small electric motor rated at 176 ft/lbs. I might dual motor it to 352 ft/lbs but heard some LS are running this transmission no problems per Novak and other sources. No one talked about how high the transmission can REV though.

Interesting article! I’ve seen photos of that build but not the backstory. I have 6 Tesla batteries - I am amazing he was able to fit 16 in his TJ. There are a couple of reasons I didn’t pursue this route: 1. I did not have the expertise (in fabrication, etc) or budget to pursue that build...

I’m gonna do another post soon, just wanna get one or two other things situated!

That’s a good call, thanks! Between that and testing how first gear might feel by using 2nd gear and 4low, I should be good to go!

Interesting. I’ve been reading about those that have taken 4low to 30mph+ on this very forum. But yes it would be a very limited one time test.

Yeah this motor I’m using isn’t a 400+HP beast so cannot get away with using just a single gear. I AM using 1st, 2nd, and 3rd up to 60mph. I don’t go above that, no highway driving for me, until I have this 100% sorted out. I love rowing through my own gears and I do plan on taking it for some...

Yeah I’m guessing too lol. I think I’m gonna hafta just do the gearing and I’ll report back. That’s why I wanted to run it in 2nd gear at 4-low. Gonna get a new transmission mount and if that fixes this issue I’m currently having with the transmission twisting, then I’ll also run that test and...

The power band is a constant 176 ft-lbs from 0-3750rom, then dropped off after that. Peak HP band is between 3000rpm and 6000rpm. It’s definitely different than an ICE. Does that make sense?

I’d love to learn more. Any articles or knowledge you can drop on me? I’ve been trying to understand this exact concept.

Thanks for this perspective - very helpful. Especially the speedometer fix. I’m at some point going to need to just roll the dice and regear regardless of the different performance characteristics of the electric motor. 4.56 but I might keep my 31.5” tires until they are done, then go to 33”...

Here’s the performance graph for the motor. It’s 176 ft-lbs of torque from 0-3750rpm then declining from there. I know it’s not apples to apples but it’s probably close to the 4 cyl except the torque is fully available at 0rpms so maybe not 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the input. I am not sure I was clear - I want to get an idea of how it might feel NOW before I regear. If using my current 3.07 gear, 2nd gear, and 4-low (21.8 ratio), would that get me the “seat of pants” feel for what first gear in 2-high would feel like after regearing (4.56 *...

I’ve been reading the forums and have a specific question I cannot find perspective on. I have a 2006 6MT with the 3.07 axel and 31.5” wheels. I’ve verified these numbers by driving and spot checking. My setup is not as quick as I’d like. I am thinking of going to 4.56 gears and 33”s. So...

Hello, I’m in the midst of replacing my engine and so I cannot “start” my Jeep. In the interim, I ripped out my fuel sending unit and trying to use a 20ohm resistor to jump the sensor to show the fuel gauge move at all but no luck. When I meter the two sending wires, I see 2.4v. When my...

I ripped out my 4.0L on my 2006 manual and I am converting it to an electric motor. I’m looking at my wiring harness and 95% I don’t need to keep. I DO need to have reverse lights and I didn’t check. I have a. Question for you TJ owners. Right now when I have my key turned to ON, my lights...
