WOT box FTW!!!

 

I've got one of these (used less than 5 street miles) if anyone's interested. Did not work the way I wanted at Drag Strip! PM me!

 

So the only real way to make full benefits from a sequential dog-box is to have an expensive ecu that does the revmatching for you? Most dog-boxes come with gear sensors anyway so you can have it displayed on an electronic dash right? So as long as you have an ECU that can use that reading you should be sorted. No????

 

This is not a dogbox - this is simply a mechanism for the stock transmission that alters the pattern from a traditional "H" to mimic the action of a full sequential (it still relies on a clutch to do individual gear changes). No dogbox at any remotely 'reasonable' price point has gear sensors - those are reserved for extremely expensive units that are solely motorsport based.

Most aftermarket clusters (there are tons out there) have the ability to display gear - I know my Racepak does, but I have no use for it so I simply turn it off. It doesn't take any special equipment to display gear position. All it's doing is taking the inputs you feed the software for rpm range, gear ratio per gear, final drive, tire height etc and calculating the gear, and displaying it. It knows whatever you tell it to know. The ecu does not necessarily need to be involved to display gear position

 

Yeah, i'm aware this isn't a dogbox. I was talking about actual dogboxes on the market. I know the hollinger has gear sensors, but that's about 20 grands worth of equipment!!!!!
Interesting what you say about the dash and how it displays gears, i was always under the impression it got it from the ECU somehow or from the transmission itself.

So, does anyone actually make a clutchless sequential dogbox?

 

I am sure several companies offer them - none are going to be application specific though

The dash can get the data from the ecu, if the ecu is tied to the transmission. My point was displaying gear position does not have to rely on the ecu, there are other ways to pull the data

 

bump from the past,

can you reupload the 2nd clip?
