Zman0690 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Although they would be nice to have as added insurance, if everything that has been stated is true then wouldn't those gears eventually fail from syncro/spring failure? Unless I'm missing something it just seems like its going to be and even more expensive failure for the helical set. Those prices are also in AUD but 6300+ USD is still way rediculous. It also seems that they may only sell straight cut which would eliminate the syncros but be a PITA to drive on the street. Anyone else found or know of anyone who makes/sells high performance syncro sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I dont believe dog-boxes use synchros? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 No, they don't, a dog box uses one gear to engage the next. Gears have elongated holes on one side and legs that protrude from the other side, they call them dogs, thus the "DOG" box. When you push the lever, it moves the first gear to go meet the second, the dogs slides in the holes and lock the second gear on the shaft. Push the lever again and it moves the second gear to go meet the third... You don't NEED to use the clutch, only slightly lift the throttle but, if you're gonna drive this in town, you might want to use the clutch anyways cause, if you don't, every shift will sound like the worst shift in history and you'll look like an AS* for having a $8000 gearbox.
