Just saw this video, very informative and well put together. Lots of people don't know the difference between syncro and dog engagement or many of the other details discussed.

nice video - good find.

 

Very good promotional video

 

nice video, idk too many people who would want to drive a dogbox on the street though lol

 

saw the video last night it is very good..

 

Saw this earlier today in another forum. Pretty neat. I never realized that you pretty much have to get that tranny into gear without much hesitation. Not for me on the street; I take my sweet old time shifting. :p

 

watching it made me want one that much more,lol

 

i learned a few things from this.
nice information.

 

Awesome! PPG's come a long way since they started in 2000..

I as well learned something.

 

i am getting on for the sound thats it...

 

I can't wait to get my PPG dogbox..

 

I'm sure this is a dumb question but i didnt catch what happens if you dont go right into gear with the dog box? Just wont go in or what?

 

1-2-1 , shift

 

Excellent video, very informative!

 

I know on the Subaru gearboxes they offer an interlocker which keeps you from shifting into 1st gear when you are going for 3rd. We have used these products for quite some time now and they are simply the best out there and their customer service is second to none.

 

dogbox gearset ,, looks like a motorcycle tranny

 

Great video. Learned a lot. Thanks.

Shifting without clutch?? Does this make the clutch obsolete in a drag racing?

 

Funny that their "full throttle shifting" the guy was lifting, doesnt matter, we got the point though.

 

No, still need the clutch in to launch car and drive in pits. After launch it allows you to not use clutch and full throttle shift.

However to save the gearset you need an ignition cut, most guys base it off of a strain gauge. That mimics the action of the guy in the video letting off to unload the trans. However a strain gauge is a much more efficient way to do so, as it lets you keep your right foot planted. The strain gauge is mounted to the shifter and when the shifter is pulled it sends the break to the ECU and cuts the ignition.

Since maybe someone will ask, here is the wikipedia;

Great info.
