I can't think of any way without adding an overdrive unit and shorting the
drive shaft. I doubt if a MUTT would have enough power to pull it's self
along with any final drive greater than 1:1 unless it was going 70+MPH. The
little 4 cylinder engine just doesn't have enough rotating mass to produce
power at low RPM. V8s have a lot of rotating mass and so does the OLD style
6 cylinder engines and can lug around and still move the vehicle. What are
you trying to achieve? My M151A1 will run 60 MPH all day long, gets good
fuel mileage.
