This is a great forum, and I've learnt a lot from lurking and reading through past posts, but the recent discussion on leaving in the original transmission has flushed me out into the open.
Converting to electric, one is looking for the greatest simplicity and efficiency possible. Running electric power through an ICE transmission, with it's cone clutch, gears, and oil bath, seems to me a poor idea. I'm sure if Diesel engines could reverse with the flip of a switch they would not have coupled them to a cumbersome gearbox.
Just my thoughts on the matter....
