Firstly it should fit a standard gear casing without expensive modifications. Race engines can have blowups and replacing an expensive casing just adds to the misery. Secondly it should be direct drive in fifth, we figured that this would offer the maximum torque output at the point where aerodynamic drag was at its greatest: high speed. The other 5 speed boxes on offer were all of the over driven fifth type which meant torque would be lost when engaging fifth. The end result is a no compromise race gearbox that is easy to use with gear ratios ideally suited to today’s race tracks with their frequent slow to medium speed corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis gearbox is a special order only item and a delivery time delay will apply, please either contact us at \u003ca href=\"mailto:sales@minisport.com.au\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003esales@minisport.com.au\u003c\/a\u003e or call us on 08-8177-1275 to find out the delay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact gear train fits into a standard A+ rod change gear casing and has straight cut gears with face dogs, typical of conventional racing gearboxes. The gears are manufactured from a vacuum arc remelted steel (VAR), this is a very high specification material which has higher strength and greater purity than commercially produced steels giving stronger gears and allowing a narrower gear width and lower frictional losses. The selector forks are made from aluminium bronze which has good wearing properties and high bending resistance.
