just got my tranny from a family friend how got me straight cut gear into 1st second and third gears =] i love this guy he did it for 6k cant wait to drop it into the car, just if u dont know what striaght cut gears are it allows for clutchless shifting when racing... but for 4th and 5th i need to use clutch


ill get a vid up when i get it installed

 

sounds cool keep us updated...but dam 6k

 

Don't straight cut gears require double clutching when your shifting slow and not necessarily "syncing" the engine and tranny speeds.

 

no u dont NEED to double clutch itll just be rough riding without double clutching

 

plus u get that nice supercharged sound that u get in revers....but in 1st 2nd and 3rd

 

Osnap that sounds cool, can anyone enlighten us on how you "straight cut" the gears? I'm lost..

 

hahaha u gotta get your tranny rebuild with new gears

 

pic and/or video or it didnt happen! lol

 

you know what annoying crazy whine when you reverse??
(reverse gear is straight cut for those who really don't know..)

yeah.. you'll get plenty of that while driving normally now... but a "supercharged sound"? not so much..

and that is also if you can even shift correctly.

 

sounds awesome!

lol not the annoying sound but what ppl are doing to their car...

interested in seeing it happen

 

People want 6 spds for the versatility - couple of racing gears and a nice relaxed cruising gear. Getting straight cut gears is the exact opposite.

For people who race though... but 6G's? 6 grand for most people is better spent elsewhere. You know, like a new car.

Anyway, OP, what else have you planned for your car that makes straight cut gears worthwhile?

 

well im boosting so basically shifting like a tip tronic will make up for boost lag, and second 6g is byfar the cheapest ive seen for a dogbox...wrx's are notorious for theirs 10g dogbox's so for almost half the price i got one made for a much better car =] ours and ill get a vid up, and for who ever said that i cant drive striaght cuts ive ran straight cuts in 2 5.0 mustang and a wrx all past rides of mine so suck on that for not knowing

 

hmm interesting.. vids and pics!

 

pics a vids ASAP!!!!

please :-)

 

watching

 

hmmm.... depending on who you ask, straight cut gears are weaker than helical (sp?) cut gears because there is less contact area between the straight cut gears versus helical... but that depends on who you ask, the materials used, yada yada yada...

 

generally straight cut deliver more power. The main reason people use helical is because it is much quieter.

I personally think straight cut gears sound awesome haha curious to see where this goes

 

getting the tranny in next week
