yeah, but with all that extra gearing, do we really want to lower the spline count? i know it's only lowering it 4 splines, but that's a lot of strength. also, the Kia input to the t-case is just a hair under 1.125" in diameter, is the Zuk smaller? the volvo is 23 spline, but no measurement on the diameter. also, with hacking out a new input or output or coupler, there comes a new, and probably large, extra cost into the mix, one that most of us can't really afford, even if we can fork over the cash for the OTT adapter(s).

looking at all the options, i'm thinking that, so far, the best choice, if we can't find a version of t-case that already has a 25-pline input and mates up to one of the available adapters for this tranny, is to swap to the volvo tranny and use the OTT adapter for the toyota case and either just run the Marlin Crawler low gears or a dual toy case. that will just about double what i have right now, with stock gears in the dual toy cases, and offer a total of 9 forward gears and 3 reverse gears in 4x4 mode, since OD won't work in 4x4 mode.

i'm still searching for more info, so, i will get back here and put up whatever i find.

one note: with the d300 adapter, one can run an Atlas.... hmmmmm.......
