Some magazine reviews have said the following:
1:2 ratio
bellview washers instead of diff spring

I think until verified all race reports and reviews need to be judging as "probably right" but may have errors.

The only other info on the prototype stealth transmission, where some photos posted here By mark Pavidis or maybe Ruffy.

The 89 stealth car was probably rebuilt by associated. Most photos from the race show various differences from those captured by Steve Hustings photo book.:

Motor mount cut diagonally
Yokomo rc10 gear cover with bung removed.
transmission brace cut removing 6 gear holes.
No rear body mount (why would he want one!)
yokomo shock clips
Green label Reedy motor (not the earlier yellow label as seen in book)

Probably more stuff that is too hard to see in the long range photos of the time.

Another reason for getting in touch with him is I had a question about this green Stealth car. He looks to have been pitting with Rick so I thought he may know. He said he wasn't certain, but thinks it could be Carlos Gonzales..... and he is on the list of potential Stealth racers Curtis posted for the 91 race. Jirka posted a body off shot of this car a few pages back and you can see some of the body in it.

I didn't understand if that was something he posted around the time of the races or something more current he posted here in the forum?

There are as you say many deviated parts comparing race photos and Associated/Hustings photos and also photos from RCCA article on the '89 car (black spur gear).
Then there's the pics of one of the '89 car taken by Curtis.
