johnc Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If I had only known! I've literally thrown away 3 auto transmissions. I always take the bellhousing (if possible) and rear yoke out of any transmission I toss. The best way to learn how to shif a dog box tranny is by driving someone else's car that has one. Seriously, if there's a racing school within a reasonably distance that uses a formula car with a dog box tranny then a day or two spent at the school will be worth it.

speeder Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 That info is appreciated- however, I just wimped out and purchased a "built" synchro box that is rated for equivalent torque/hp to the Jerico. It was probably a bad idea anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If anyone needs the bell housing, I've got 2 auto bell housing if my dad hasn't tossed them. Dirt cheap, seriously. Does anyone know of a site with pics that shows how these trannies work? They sound really interesting. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenp405 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 There was an article in Sport Compact Car a couple months ago (actually it was an editorial in "Technobabble" IIRC) that explains the basic concepts of dogs. It helped me go from knowing absolutely nothing (not even of their existance) to somewhat kind-of maybe knowledgable. I've looked for a link online but haven't found anything on their site. I'll have to go through the stacks of magazines to track it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
