Re: [DML] Porcsche transmission for DeLorean

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

This is not necessarily true. I think you are right that most Hondas
turn the wrong way, but the 2liter, 240hp out of the S2000 (which I think
would be one of the best candidates) turns in the correct direction. 

For people who wanted to retain the Renault transmission, this would not
make a difference. A fix would be as simple as flipping the ring and
pinion in the final drive of the transmission. Remember the transmission
is used in FWD applications, so we all know it can spin backwards. Some
transmissions do not allow this "flip", including the Porsche g50.
