Transmission Rules interpretation
8. Transmission/Final Drive
A. Rear wheel drive only is permitted.
B. The final drive ratio is unrestricted. Internal transmission gears shall remain stock.
C. Cars may use sequentially shifted motorcycle transmissions. Reverse gear is not required.
Am I reading this correctly? Does this rule B 'require' the use of the standard transmission? Or at least using the standard gears even if they were re-located? If so, isn't the 'may' in C redundant?

Transmission interpretation
It only states that the gears remain stock, doesn't say anything about its location etc.
Mentioning sequential shift seems redundant if you must use stock gears doesn't it!

Thanks for the clarification.
I was looking at the possibilities of a longitudinal engine re-using the 'stock' gears in a conventional transaxle layout.
There are interesting possibilities . . . Sorry 'were'!
