> I think you are talking about a modification referred to as a "Power Drive". IIRC Manny is now the 'man' to talk to about it.

We have a Manny Tranny with the 3.5 power drive mod. If you have
to do tranny work anyway, it's a great and very cost effective way to go.
You don't have to change the speedo gears and it's a very solid piece
of engineering. There's been debate here over chain vs final drive
and which is better that I won't bother to rehash. All I can
say is we're happy with our chain drive mod and it added a
lot of pep to our coach. As others have pointed out though, higher
revs = more noise at freeway speeds no matter how you slice it.
