^^^^Part of the problem with this discussion is in the terminology being used and how it is understood. For instance you use the term “stress” and I believe you’re thinking stress and wear are synonymous. I believe you’re thinking like this:
1.Taller gears increases the stress on the driveline components
2. Increasing stress increases wear
3. Therefore taller gears increase wear on the driveline components.
Furthermore, not only do I believe you’re thinking like this, but, I also believe you think this reasoning is so obviously sound that you can assume we should all understand how you’re thinking without any explanation.
Can you spot the problem with this reasoning as far as how it relates to our discussion on transmitting power through a driveline? I’m challenging you to think about this to help you and others who might be reasoning like this to come to a clearer understanding of things.... I’m not simply wanting to argue.
