You have one of the later boxes don't you Banny...have you ever had any miss-selection issues?

Its A 2004 box so still the shorter ratios, the newage has a PPG gearbox but that will be removed fairly soon for the hawkeye 6 speed.

Only had a problem going from 2nd to 3rd intially and missing the gear as the gate pattern is narrower than the five speed other than that loved every second of it :)

i read on some site that PPG was rated up to 600 torque it seems like a waist of money in that case if your going 500 plus

is that american horse power? theres a few people on this forum that broke there ppg and there only running around the 500ish

banny sti 08 October 2009 02:46 PM

It seems to be the high torque that is breaking the boxes, not the horsepower the engines are producing.

the dogbox has a higher torque rating than the regular orientated box (both straight cut)....450 vs 600 :)
