    Motor shaft gets coupled directly to tranny input shaft since clutch is now superfluous. You only need to dry shift into another gear as you enter a different operating environment such as off-road, city streets or highways. So: motor > adapter plate > clutch housing.

    Sounds good and thanks for the article. My plan is to electrify my ‘51 Studebaker so am doing lots of research.
