Anyone have any suggestions? were trying to just get one side running to test but i don't want to "If ALL else fails, READ the directions" method.

This is great. So you can build one of your transmissions and test it..then order two more motors for the other one...

Alternately while you wait, you can run each tranny with one motor.

I guess I should read the manual.
