sequential tranny?

[xxAfflicti0nxx]

does anyone know if they make a sequential transmission for a 97 GST?

What about a dogbox with the sequential shifter and an ignition cut between shifts using a switch on the shifter?

That's moving in the right direction.

I looked into it in the past and found that was really the only way to do it on a dsm budget, even then it's a lot of money between the shifter and the dogbox.

There are vids around the internet of dsms with sequential shifters, also an old mag has a 2g with one. From what I read, the RRE car with the seq shifter was the customers doing, maybe a custom thing he came up with, not totally sure since I read about it so long ago.

I think it would be sooo sick to have a ss set up with paddle shifters in a 10 sec street built 1g!

Shep runs one of those IKEA sequential shifters on his dogbox, he got tired of puking engines from 1-2-1 shifts, as its easy to do with a dogbox and a h pattern.

It's the shift pattern that makes it sequential, not the internals of the trans. You could run one of those shifters on a regular synchro dsm trans, and it would be sequential, but I don't think it would last long with how quick the ikea will shift it.

It's called "automatic" and can be done.

If you want an electronic shifting dogbox with sequential shifter being actuated by solenoids through electronic signal and air shifted, it is also doable but you would likely have around $10K in the trans and shifting stuff using a PPG dogbox. A real sequential transmission is considerably more expensive.

You would have around $25-30K for a custom DSM sequential dogbox barrel shifting trans then the modifications to the manual shifter assembly for push-button or air-shifting anywhere in a range of 40mS for electronic with the good units (EXPENSIVE) to 200-400mS for the slower electronic units (couple thousand dollars) or air shifted units (several thousand dollars). Expect around another $6K-15K for the shifter stuff to be customized for our car depending on level of quality and type of shift selection chosen. There are a few companies that currently make these transmissions for professional rally cars like KAPS, DRENTH, and MaKTraK, etc. They don't have a DSM option, just Evo 4-10 options and other applications. For example, a standard MaKTraK 6-speed sequential gearbox for an Evo 8/9 MR costs around $24000.00 after international taxes/customs/shipping costs. And that's just the transmission! There are several places that do the electronic sequential paddle shifter stuff out there that can be retrofitted to run in any car.

The cheapest route would be modified auto trans with shift kit, full line pressure switched along with reading up on the how-to for doing steering wheel push-button shifting as there are a couple guys already doing it.

There is no real cheap route to do this with the stock 5-speed transmission in a DSM. It would be custom, and expensive.

twicks69, your car is one of the sicker setups on this site!! But i am now going to have to look into that auto trans!
