Performance 6 speeds: TRUST V HKS

[NXTIME]

Hey all,

I had a look at a Japanese drag records page and in three classes, 4 out of the top 7 had used the TRUST box and 3 had used the HKS, with times ranging from 9.2 to 10.5. The second category saw 4/8 each, with the 3rd class having 2 each. The rest of the (lower) top 10 were using OS gearsets.

Not having any experience with either of these boxes, I would like to know people's opinions on both these boxes in a drag racing application. H-pattern v sequential? Anyone had first hand experience? Pros v Cons? Maintenance costs? Other alternatives?

what about these pfitzner gearboxes ?

i think they do an exchange and are supposed to be quite good

The HKS is made by Quaife, if I remember trightly. Sequential is always cheaper on maintenance for both engine and gearbox. Pfitzner makes a good box. Personally I would choose a sequential Hollinger.

Trust is made by Quaife, HKS ripped off Hollinger. Depends on what you want to use the car for.

SK, how does a sequential make things cheaper? You can't control the shift speed on them, it's just pull (or push) and clunk? Although missed gears might be eliminated, I think you can still get some problems with forks + the cams on them.
