Chuck and Jay, Chuck earlier stated: The manual tranny will be worse as one shifts and upsets the minimally damped chassis. If I remember correctly, most MC motors have rubber dampeners on their mounting points to the MC chassis. I am hoping that these will be re-used in mounting the MC motors in F500 chassis. Hopefully, since the MC chain drive can tolerate deflections, the rubber dampening will help in the shifting shocks to the chassis and help with the general vibration of the MC motor (chassis tubing cracks). In a related side note, I know that Jeff Blumenthal uses rubber dampening in mounting his Rotax and I have been told over the years that rubber dampening of CVT motors is not a good idea because it misaligns the two clutches when the motor torques over. Yet, when I look at parts explosions of snowmobile sleds, I usually see rubber dampeners in the motor mounts, so which way is the best the best way? Curious, Jim
