[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1254623, member: 14668"] The front wheel drive transmission has not been made that would hold up to the abuse of a UPS delivery route for 200,000 miles. Front wheel drive transmissions have half the lifespan of rear wheel drive units, and cost 2 to 3 times as much to overhaul when they fail. A better way to gain traction would be for pkg cars in snow country to be equipped with locking rear differentials. That, plus good tires and chains, would be far better and more affordable than trying to design an entirely new transmission and drive train. [/QUOTE]
