Thanks,

Well I can tell you that after switching the gears we bored out an alluminum tube so that it had the same id as the motor and the same od as the transmission, then I made little rectangular piece out of 1/8 all. and drilled a hole in the center for the little nub on the back of the motor and to little holes which were then tapped which lined up with the holes in the back of the motor finally there were two holes drilled on either end to put threaded rod through. Next I made and all. support that slipped over the transmission with holes for the threaded rod and that was how we locked the motor into the transmission and kept it from free spinning... As far as I know the process wasnt really that complicated. The hardest part is when you are screwing the plate into the back of the motor you can only get a couple of threads in without going to far and stalling/smoking the motor (Design credit goes to Dzdconfusd... PM him if you have any more questions)
