Sequential gearbox advice please everyone

I ve never run a sequential before, it s for front engine - rear wheel drive. So far I ve come across;



Quaife

Samsonas

Tractive

HGT Engineering

Drenth



Anyone got any experience with those or recommendations for others? Power roughly 400bhp max and just for circuit racing. Have no idea which would be best/most reliable etc any help much appreciated smile

My first step would be to work out which needs the least amount of work to fit. It can take a lot of time to get custom driveshafts etc made. Some companies do sequentials that fit in the original casings, a lot don't.

Check out the costs for the annual rebuild/service as well.

What application, which of them makes adapters for your engine ? Do you need 5 or 6 gears ? Which are the most serviceable ?

Tractive and Samsonas both have very solid reputations and will handle 400hp with ease in 5 or 6 speed form.

Not sure if other boxes do it, but they both also have a rear section with changeable drop gears so you can effectively play with diff ratio quite easily.

Tractive does have some lower power rated options that would be lighter than the bigger stuff too. Samsonas only really have fairly big power rated boxes if weight is an issue too.

or DJM Motorsport offers a range of stuff too.
