hi, does something speak against using the L210 gearbox as if it were an L110?
I just want to ask before I buy
Maybe I shouldn't be the one answering this as I'm a beginner myself, so happy to stand corrected, but as I understand it:
"Pros" of using L210 instead of L110:
L210 is somewhat lighter and shorter, and mechanically simpler as it doesn't have two speeds.
L210's internal oil pump works when input shaft is locked, so it doesn't need an external pump and controller like the L110 does.
"Cons" of using L210 instead of L110:
There's a body of experience with installing and running the L110 in conversions; as far as I'm aware (mainly from this thread!), the L210 has only been shown working in a couple of bench tests, so it's less far along the learning curve.
Some have questioned whether the lack of two-speed shifting will bring performance challenges with using the L210, especially if it's driving a lower-geared differential than it's designed for.
