(inquiry) What transmission would YOU recommend?

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

.71 is 27/38
.76 is 44/58

As for big/small, I'd leave that to how well they are designed / machined.
On the sub, you'd think we have huge teeth, but they are quite small as compared
to the bull gear diameter (something like 12 feet), and that one gear handles
over a million ft-lbs of torque.
