heard about this project long time ago, i thought it was BS but I guess not lol

 

About $11k (AUD) for the internals. Use your own 5 speed casing.

 

So is that like the MR tranny or is there an actual clutch?

 

It's a dog box, meaning straight cut gears. Try running this on the street and you will be crying. Can't skip gears, ALWAYS have to down/upshift sequentially, meaning linear. It's just a race car only thing.

Gates runs this one:

This MakTrac dogbox has been out for quite some time, costs 15k:

 

I downshift when coming to a stop anyways >.> Sounds boss to me!!! Can't you shit with this thing without using the clutch too? Dunno, I heard that somewhere, no idea myself.

 

No you cannot shit with it. Absolutely not! Whoever you heard it from has absolutely bad hygiene.

 

da;jf;saelkfjesa;fkjas You got me! I'd blame auto correct if it was my phone but unfortunately auto correct wouldn't ever correct to shit

 

lol, back to topic. Since this is selling without the housing, it will be much cheaper than the one Disco posted.

 

Sequential transmissions are the cats ass. I have one in my diasio d962r. Push clutch in for 1st gear take off and forget about it. Allows you to left foot brake the car which can easily take off several seconds off a very skilled drivers track time. Im assuming this box works the same. Downshifts require just a blip of the throttle and it slips down a gear, chassis never gets disturbed.
However with all things fucking awesome and amazing, the maintenance is murder. Every year the trans needs to be pulled and the gears crack checked. The ring and pinion has to be replaced every 2500 miles or so. This is speaking of a hewland ftr trans, which is about 15 grand. And its not like the trans is a piece of shit either, if you know who hewland is you know they are the best in the business for transmissions. I would hope.these Aussies did their research on longevity.
Side note. Dog gears are the loudest things on the planet. The engine in my car is a straight pipe rx8 motor basically (loud as fuck). However, the only thing the driver can hear is he whine of the gears in the transmission (super high.pitched too). It sounds awesome but youd be deaf in 5 minutes without ear plugs.

 

Being able to shit without the clutch varies depending on the setup, some can and others it isn't advisable. Usually from a standstill the clutch is a must or you will just stall. It's a good question though on the X.

The actual dog gear makes it possible, there is no brass on a true sequential.

The dog gears - the shifting mechanism - does not add any noise at all. It's the straight-cut teeth on the gears that make noise. And lots of it.

 

Whoops yeah I don't know what I was thinking. Straight cut gears don't usually last too long either.

 

In response to their video. I have a Big Bad Wolf of my own.

 

That scarred me psychologically.

 

forever!

 

Like one of those "hurts so good" scars?

 

re noise - that's why you get helical cut gears

 

Aren't straight cut generally stronger? I love the sound of race transmissions personally
