Does anyone know if the front 8.8 uses the same gear design as the rear? I know it is the same ratio but is it the same rotation and all?

 

the front uses difrent reversed cut rotation gears, you cant throw in gears meant for the rear in the front then the front would be trying to go backwards and the rear would be trying to go forwards get my drift? hope this helps you have any more q" i would be happy to help
