Overdrive gearbox: We finished the design of the overdrive gearbox. It is designed around three shafts and four gears. This configuration lets me locate the transmission output flange closer to straight line to the drive input. The overdrive box will bolt to the bell housing right where the transmissions was and the transmissions will bolt to the back of the overdrive box. This will lower the torque the transmission will see. I did not want to add any more pumps, coolers, tanks, ect. So we designed the gear box to be a wet sump that the water coming into the boat will go through the bottom of the gearbox and cool the aluminum and the oil sump will have fins that will cool the oil. It will have two gear ratios with 58 teeth and 52 teeth so it will be a net around .8 gear ratio or a 20% overdrive. Now I just have to build it. |

I like it.. Looks about as compact as can get. What's it add up to, under 5 inches?

Care to share the FEA images as well? The whine from the straight cut gears is gonna be awesome :cool: |
Transmission will be happier also...
a counterrotating unit like that would be great for an Arneson application. will the water pass through a strainer first or are the passages large enough to not have issues with seaweed/debris? |
