are you after a full dog box, or just an uprated gearbox?

 

iv got a six speed box at the moment.

im looking into a stright cut dog box

 

Modena dog boxes are widely used in Subaru Rally cars and seem to be about the best option around for use in the GpA and N cars. Bits are available through TEG sport and they seem as reliable and user friendly as any dog box out there. Its worth remembering though that a Dog box will require mor maintenance than a synchro and will be more expensive to run.

I currently run a Quaife dog in my GC8 and would swap to a Modena if I could afford it.

sorry should have made myself clear, i've got a ppg straight cut box, however its a ppg gearset with standard, although uprated, selectors etc.

a dog box refers to the dog engagement which is different to a standard selector system, is that what your after or just the uprated gearset?

 

Modena make some very good gear kits, but they are quite expensive.

PPG have an up rated 5 speed gear kit to fit into the 6 speed case. This is rated to over 1000bhp

 

I have a modena box in my rally car , and find it great , done 4 events since it was last stripped as I broke reverse trying to get out of a ditch , it seems to be a strong box. you get lightning quick gearchanges with them .
I have plated front and rear diffs and electric centre one with a neetronics diff controler

 

Had one in my rally car, found the box to be very smooth and mega gearchanges - BUT this comes at the expense of the dogs wearing quickly. replacement gears are anything over £200.00 each and so are the slip rings.

In my experience I found TEG to be useless for backup and Frank the Modena rep is about the same.

What application are you using the box for rallying or just on the road?
