ripping gears hey,
If you run a 4 speed emco, Jerico or any straight cut gear box you just rip gears up and down. Get a tilton clutch of a quarter master or tilton slave. the bell-housing adapters are easy Your done the boxes are tough. just match rev on the down shifts. and lift for the up. If you want to flat shift up you need a sequential. You still need to match revs to shift them down. They don't last long (like minutes) if you don't know how to match revs. They use a potentiometer to cut timing so you can flat shift up. some of them will blip the throttle for you on the way down. But you should understand the way it works so you don't kill it when the electronics fail.
Big draw back is cost on sequential. If you like to spend 8-25 K every 50 hrs than its the right gear box for you. The other drawback is you row. sequential 6 speed. up is great so is down but you engage every gear on the way down. Its fast the shifts are fast but no faster than a straight cut gear box.
Racing is fun turning money into noise.

I really want a sequential and actually have the brand new QBE69G in the shed.
It was either a Quaife, Holinger or EMCO. Quaife won on price. I can have a spare gearbox and still be around the same money installed. Or sell mine off every season and replace it new. Probably what I will do.
Yeah racing burns up dollars but who cares. It's FUN eh. I am enjoying my retirement and for a bloke over 60yo this thing is awesome. Better than those blue pills.
