For me it's the idea of constantly chasing that perfectly timed shift. I already do this with clutchwork on a normal manual. Always judging each shift trying to make everything as perfect as possible. Makes me almost forget about the world and just focus on every little move I'm making. Totally what it's all about

It’s a good thing to do because almost everyone I know thinks it about flooring it and shifting fast when really it’s about that smooth transition

Awesome man, good choice. I've got a trust 6 speed dog box for the group A build sat on the shelf. Much more period correct for an R32. I think a sequential saps personality. Remember you can also left foot brake and blip through the gears with your right ;) Some serious excitement on your face lol, great vid.
@ItsCardo19873 жыл бұрын
I almost had an opportunity to grab one of the trust boxes but the time wasnt right for me haha. Yea left foot braking popped into my head.. but i was clearly overly excited and was just happy to soak up as much knowledge as i could in the limited time i knew i had.

Try explaining a dog box to all the Tesla nerds out there. Let alone the giddiness of enjoying what fun it is to be at one with your car. Teetering on the edge of traction at all times while managing engine revs and when to shift at the optimal time. At some point real cars will become extinct like the dinosaurs but enjoy this time and enjoy these cars.
@TheMick263 жыл бұрын
How's it goin', Cardo? Check that smile... You're definitely hooked on the dawg box now. I know you had already made up your mind, but that drive sealed the deal.👊 You did great, man. Huge Shoutout to Dave for trusting and allowing you to give it a go in his badass car. I haven't had the privilege of driving anything with a dogbox yet, but it looks fun. I'm always up for a challenge. I know it isn't the same, but I drive my ol' truck without using the clutch sometimes. Very similar. It's a feel and it takes practice, but when you nail it, it feels just as smooth as using the clutch. Upshifts come a little easier (especially the 3-4) as the revs fall for the next gear anyway and the downshifts are basically a throttle blip rev-matching for a smooth engagement. I guarantee it's hard to remember to leave that clutch alone unless you're coming to a stop, but once you do it for a few weeks, like everything else, it'll become second nature. Even more excited for this build now, Cardo.🙌 This thing is going to be an absolute animal! Have a great day, brother. See ya back in the cave.👍

I'm with you man, if the money was close in price, I reckon you'd be better to bite the bullet and go sequential. Eliminate that whole "money shift" issue. Let's face it, the ability to drop neutral from any gear, isn't that much of a sacrifice

4th gear is a 1:1 ratio meaning it has no gear reduction, it's power is straight from the engine to the final drive. In other cases some might change gears to helical for road use.

Great vid. YUP,,I will change my T56 into a dog box. 1st to 4th. . I'll say this, you are able to up shift most cars with no clutch and down shift with no clutch if you can feel and hear the motor. So a dog box will be a lot more fun. Peace.

@ItsCardo19873 жыл бұрын
The dogs are made to be shifted without the clutch, by rev matching your doing less damage than a clutch would because the more the gears slow the harder the hit during engaging. Rev matching and shifting under a little bit of load causes less damage. Terrible explanation but if you look up PPG on KZbin they explain it out pretty good

@ItsCardo19873 жыл бұрын
Dog boxes dont whine, the straight cut gears interlocking is where the sound comes from. The reverse gear is almost every car is a straight cut gear, which is why you get the whine in reverse in a normal car as well. As for the why, i think its due to sound frequency and vibration.. but im not 100% sure as to why we hear a sound when the gears teeth pass each other

If you’re ready to downshift through the gears you can, or else you can just put it in neutral and use the brakes. The better option would be to use the engine to assist slowing you down with the brakes.
@jaquecousteau29763 жыл бұрын
Coasting in Neutral is a huge No no in neutral you have zero control in any vehicle , always need to be in a gear while driving. I drive a dog box daily it’s no problem, slow you can always double clutch up and down , still need to blip the throttle to downshift It’s like a driving a fancy 18 wheeler , 18 wheeler after 1st gear you don’t need the clutch either no synchros just need to learn to load and unload correctly and match engine speed with revs and such you can drive it normal everywhere and when you beat on it, it can handle it.
