fowlerman I have been doing some thinking ( I KNOW I SHOULDNT)
If the the new motor that was fitted was spinning faster I would have thought it would have a lot more momentum and if the reduction is not directly at the back of the motor instead at the far end of the drive train ie the final drives when you are dozing along and hit a big immovable object I wonder does this extra momentum increase shock load threw the drive train perhaps and the fluid coupling was to try and absorb some of that shock
Or prehaps its the other way it is trying to absorb some of the shock load when taking off
either way Fowlers wearnt known for the best metallurgy in the business
just some thoughts I have no idea if any of it is right
