Trying to gauge interest in a oem replacement dog gear set for the s2000 gear box. would probably include all straight cut gears, dogs, and shafts etc. If the price was under $4000 would you consider the investment?

 

PPG?

 

Would be interested at that price. More so if we could select gear ratios.

 

will have to ask about this when I see you tonight

 

there are already dog boxes. There is a company who makes a bell housing that lets us use a common (ford?) tranny that gives you many options for tranny's including quaife sequential for about $10k all in.

Good stuff right there. I had a ppg box in my WRX when I owned it. It wasn't a dogbox but was still an awesome upgrade over the factory gear box.

 

For under $4000, I would like to know if it would include any kind of installation. I would also like to know what abuse they would be able to handle (TQ and all that). With that kind of price, they could become my FIRST option for my car. I'm just looking for a long-term part that I can depend on not to give under pressure.

Thanks for looking out for the S2K community, BTW!

 

yes there are quite a few gear boxes we could adapt and run for over $6,000. But by using the factory housing we can simplify things without changing drive lines or clutches, shifter locations, transmission mounts etc while still spending several thousand dollars less. The gear sets would be made by M-factory, a well know gear builder for drag racing dog boxes for front wheel drive cars. the gear set would be able to hold a ton more power than the stock trany. Im not the gear builder so i cant give an exact number. as far as different ratios im sure they can make that happen, but off the bat there would be one gear set to start with. Ive looked into Jerico and Holinger gear boxes and its just out of the budget. M-factory makes a wonderful product, ive ran their stuff before so shot them an e-mail seeing what they thought of the idea. Just give me all the feed back i can get so i can tell them what kind of interest is out there. Thanks for the input guys!

 

I'm interested, but I have high horsepower needs and probably would prefer straight cut.

 

I spoke with the M Factory guys at SEMA and they mentioned S2k straight cut dog box internals were in the works. I think this could be a great product for the S2.

I've been waiting on my Quaife sequential for quite a while now, turns out the available bell housing for S2k is for adapting S2k engine in cars like Lotus 7 etc and won't actually work in S2k. Still waiting to hear back from Quaife on when and if the S2k 60G gearbox will be ready.
