What are "cross gear sets"?
Companies like OS Giken and Spoon make "cross gear sets"
What does that mean? They use it separately from something like a close-ratio gear set. Is this a type of gear design or what? And I only notice the Japanese & UK mention the term, but what is the difference? http://www.justjap.com/parts_ngearbox.htm http://www.modacar.com/products/Honda/Civic/GEARSET/ http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bt...pe=Gear%20Sets edit: Oh $H!+ I just noticed this was posted in FI. |
They're not really "cross gear sets", they're "cross-cut gear sets" or "straight-cut gear sets". Basically, it's means the gears are not helical. Straight-cut gears have their teeth parallel to the rotating axis. Helical-cut gears have their teeth at an angle to the rotating axis. Straight-cut gears are usually stronger, but noisier that helical-cut gears. Most racing gearboxes use straight-cut gears. Most OEM boxes use helical-cut gears. Also, most straight-cut gear sets use "dog" style engagement, while helical sets usually use synchros.

So, does the Z come with cross gears? They look like they are kind of helical, but really just cut diagonally. I know it comes with synchros (I know what those are). Here's a picture courtesy of BriGuyMax from his thread titled "Professional analysis and pictures of our 6MT internals"

yes, all street cars come with cross cut angled gears
usually only race cars or highly modified cars use straight cut gears |
I believe the reverse gears are straight cut

An advantage to straight cut is that you can beat the holy hell out of them and they will last for a long time, power-shifting, etc. The main disadvantage is that shifting always requires rev-matching, also they are very loud.

Now, one place where the might start to show up in the future is in computer controled manual gearboxes, where other than the user pulling a paddle they don't have any control over the actual shift. |
no you can have straight cut gears with syncros
only a dog box with straight cut gears require exact rev matching |
