Trust 6 Speed Dog Boxes

[T88 ON BOARD]

after seeing this im gonna get my ppg straight cut a servive i think...

When ppl get there dogbox serviced what do they do though?

Not talking about just the change of oil but is there anything they can do to give it longer life?

yes all true, but. unforntunatly with a dog box you do need to crack test the parts. its just a fact of life. you smash something with a hammer for a year or soo it will crack. just when is the gamble.

Dave what sort of km's has your box done since you built it? Do you use the clutch for upshifting?

I had my PPG straight cut dog pulled down and inspected after about 6000kms of use Street (85%) Hard driving 15%, it had a very small amounts of wear on the dogs maybe due to the fact i always use the clutch for shifting i find it way to rough otherwise..

well i bought it secondhand. so id say its got a few.

that and me having to trial and error the best way of "street" driving it.. my guess is at least new dogs for 2nd and 3rd. (so all the dogs lol..) and depending how worn the gears are, them to. (2nd,3rd)

i use the clutch. just shifting fast and firm with a pause going up gears and rev matching down. (down is way more easier than going up....)

waht sort of shifter is recomended. a quick shifter or stock???? i was thinking of making a super quick shifter but im to scared of missing a gear.

i almost got reverse on the freeway once going from 5th to 4th :s (full monty box)

I still run the standard shifter but have been wondering whether or not to upgrade to a short/quick shifter for quite awhile.

The ultimate shifter would be the stillway 0-400 with the lockout but its no good for circuit..

These boxes can be fatal if you mess up, 5th to reverse would have been real nasty goodbye engine clutch gearbox and possibly your feet/legs.

2nd to 1st on the upshift to 3rd is what worries me its easily done alot of people have found out the hard way myself included...

Driving a GTR with a Dog box is no joke it makes you appreciate a driver like Mark Berry that goes lap after lap without a problem...

People need to take this into account before installing a dog box one mistake and you can turn 20 grand+ into scrap...

Try mine before you do that Dave

[T04GTR]

[N1GTR]

Mines a modified C's

Unless you've changed shifters since i drove your car last, this thing is way shorter
