Correction a Staight cut gear set is noisy... A Dog gear set just eliminates the syncros.. Most dogboxes are straightcut gear sets though...
I know useless correction, but i wanted to make the distinction.
Sorry I wasn't clear... paying more attention to "Rita" than what I was typing. In plain English, I WOULD get tired of a dog box quickly on the street! Only the most "hardcore" would possibly be able to tolerate it for daily transportation.
Dude what is with all these old threads coming up...lol its 5 years old. A dog box is the term for a transmission utilizing a dog engagement. A dog box can have either helical or spur gears or both.
Dogs are basically no more than cogs on a slider. The shifter pushes them into a receiver ring which engages the gear it is attached to. There is a separate dog and receiver for each gear in the transmission. On a racing transmission, there is a lot of "slop" (the gaps in the receiver are a lot larger than the teeth on the dog), which makes it easier to move into and out of the gears at higher RPMs without fully engaging the clutch.
