I had occasion to visit a local transmission shop and was looking at the damaged parts that any good auto repair shop keeps around as curiousities. The owner showed me a Ford E4OD planetary gearset that featured a steel carrier, six planetary gears, and had a 2.76/1 ratio. I just thought I'd post this here becouse I'd heard that someone was trying to modify a three planet carrier into a six. The ratio is kind of high, but someone might be interested.

Go back and get some dimensions on that thing Brian :-)
Sounds about right for a 8000 RPM high HP rotary.
