That and the gearign is usually alot closer stacked than a std box too, so you drop less revs between gear changes which is ideal for a engin eon mega duration cams. | |

a dog box will only change gear change times in so much as you dont need to use the clutch. The only thing effecting changing gear is the linkage. | |

No, a dog box will cut gear change times, a plain straight cut box will just take more torque. | |

I keep getting things wrong, I thought it's main use was to cut gear change times, surely this is part of what it does aswell :boggle: | |

Stronger..... but less durable. So will take mega power, but will do less road miles than a normal box. | |

quote: depends on the material tbh, helical cut gears have more teeth in mesh at the same time, but straight cut have only one in mesh.. less strength. but decent sets like quaife jobbies are of a decent enough material to take some abouse :) | |

I love the wining sound you get from these, so loud, old mini's have these as standard dont they | |

quaife - £1300 for a 5-speed straight cut cluster, which can be fitted to most GM gearboxes | |
