What became of the "revolutionary" Zero_Shift `box

[Chris Wilson]

A while ago there was a lot of hype over a synchroless, as we know it, manual gearbox to go in stock casings, a Borg Warner T5 was mooted as the Guinea pig, and i think TVR had a test mule. They were supposed to give ultra fast shifts, take up less mainshaft length, be applicable to existing RWD gearbox case designs, and would change our lives, both in road and race cars. Race Car Engineering had a brief article on them i think? I believe they promised more info at a later date, but I am sure they cited a time scale ending long before now. AFAIK no more has been published on them. What gives? Cheers.

Last I heard the designers were on a tour of the major manufacturers and were signing all sorts of non-disclosure agreements. Hopefully it is being taken up by a manufacturer and the next we'll hear of it is in a production car.
