The gears do not lower torque output of anything. Ego? I'm trying to get you to understand something, Has nothing to do with ego. You stil think somehow gears reduce torque at the rear wheels. They don't. But fine. I'm out.
work and torque arent the same thing, torque affects work, more torque more work or applied force. torque is force applied in a circular motion, gears make their own torque, it takes torque to make the force (work) to turn the axles, a crankshaft makes torque, a steering wheel makes torque.
