im in the middle of making my dynamark lowered and fix the steering up to go fast. lowering the front is easy, but the back isnt. i was wondering if you can flip a transaxle upside down. i want to do this so the pulley stays in the same spot but it gets lowered a couple inches, or will that not work and i will just have to cut into the frame more and us a jackshaft set up? thanks

Its possible- youd have to run grease tho instead of oil in it- itd all leak out thru the input shaft. 


Youd also need to make a skid plate, so it doesnt hit the ground.


Other issue would be shifting- youll need to make a whole new shifter setup.


Youll most likely need to notch the frame anyway to make things line up.


Might be easier to just use a jackshaft setup.....

Yup!  A jackshaft would be much better.
