v drive

Post by tom t »

I have a 1971 Trojan with the 318 with 2 25 horsepower. I'm wondering if I can use the right handed or left handed: prop on that by changing the linkage? yesterday I put a new prop on it and now forward is reverse in Reverse is forward

No it will damage the trans , The trans can not take full power in " reverse" due to less clutch area . I asume you have paragon gear ( same holds true for velvet drive )
