Im not the poster on that one...but I think you have to assume that it was done for ease of making the drawing. (re-using the specific art piece) Flipping a diff like that would cause oiling issues as well as make the front tires turn in the wrong direction.

Thanks for the response. I have a feeling I'll be hanging out a while as we get into this project full-force. It should be obvious...but I'll admit it anyway. I have very little familiarity with Soobs. Is your suggestion to just run it in 4wd and ignore the front outputs? Is this how others have done it? For some reason I thought getting it to run in RWD only would be ideal. I suppose if I were to really think about it...so long as there was not a center diff...its no big deal. I was hoping for an easy fix on the tranny. I suppose in this case it is good to have access to a host of donor vehicles... Are there any links with some creative use of the extra outputs? (perhaps Mudrat has a site?)

I am working on a fun shop project that will incorporate the existing engine transaxle assembly from a GL wagon into a custom tube frame buggy using a Sammy t-case. The questions I have regarding this (its good to find a thread on people already trying similar mods) is: 1. Without knowing too much about the Soob setup...what happens to the existing splined outputs on the front end that are no longer used? I am assuming/hoping that I can get the original equipment to output in both H/L out the rear driveshaft and feed that into the t-case. Is there a thread indicating the ability to get a rear output only out of the stock drivetrane? Meaning: I want the existing front output to cease spinning. I want all available torque/power going out the rear. 2. Also - the tranny is slipping out of 3rd gear. My assumption is there is some kind of detent spring or other retention mechanism that is worn or needs adjustment/replacement. Can anyone reference a writeup/solution/thread on this? Thanks!
