Re: [T3] Transaxle swap

	Does the '65 Type II still have the reduction boxes?  If so, you'd
end up with a bus that was *very* good at climbing hills when travelling
forward... and had four speeds in reverse!  The reduction boxes reverse
the direction of rotation, so the bus transmission turns the axles in the
"backwards" direction.

	I think there's some gear that can be flipped or swapped to change
the direction of rotation...?
