Transmission Impossible

Transmission Impossible

Turns out it's not so impossible...

This week we scoured the internet looking for a transmission we could put on the solar car. We wanted one so that we could reach a higher top speed. However, the internet seems to have a lot to say about transmissions so it turned out to be slightly more difficult than was previously expected. After much research and deliberation, we finally found one we all could live with. A 5-speed manual left side drive transmission for a chain drive motorcycle. It's gonna cost us about a grand, but if it'll get us up to the speeds we want, it's definitely worth it.
Tadaaaaaaaa
