explains very nicley how to remove the clutch and housing, and lock the clutch plate from rotating. The drill motors and planetaries don't fit properly in the plastic kit mounts until you romove the clutch housing anyway. Plus this makes it lighter. With the clutch removed this is just a normal planetary gear set. So there is now reason your setup won't work.

Actually, if you remove the clutch, they WON'T work right with the standard drill mounts. There's two little metal tabs in the front of the transmission, on the face of the casing. They'll fall out if you dont cover the face of the transmission, and the drill motor doesn't seem to run as well.
