What about a cvt for Pagodas?

According to the graph in post # 8, my car with a ZF 5 speed and a 3.92 rear axle should be running close to 95 MPH or slightly higher at 4,500 RPM, which was what I was doing on 696 ( near Detroit ) while returning from Joe's place last Sept. No wonder it seemed so fast!

YOU MANIAC!  You were complaining about the Michigan drivers on 696, and how fast they go, and YOU were doing 95 MPH--good thing you were headed to the border since that's exactly where they'd have sent you if caught!

As with updating the supplied Automatic transmission the killer is size. Our auto gearboxes are about 18" or 500mm long and barely are able to drop out of the space ahead of the tubed section of the floor pan. If someone wants to do this I would be prepared for having to modify the transmission tunnel quite extensively.
