Driveline problems

[stacebg]

I plan on trying to do a write up on this but here are the parts removed.No longer having to turn this gearbox should reduce power loss through the drivetrain.I'm not finished so I can't confirm or deny mpg change.The last picture shows what you have when update is done.

That is the gearbox that was mounted on the front of the diff on the early CSC trikes with independent suspension to allow the driveshaft to run inline.It was 1:1 but the shaft gave trouble.The fix is it remove the box and replace it with a yoke and purpose built shaft.The last pic is of the installed yoke and the rest is of the old stuff.

When I did mine we weighed the pile of parts that were remove I think the weighed 28 pounds, Its a lot less rotating weight. I dont remember any gain in mpg. it's a big job to do , It was a lot smoother to ride .

I have no idea. I honestly have made no effort to try to ID it.
