That's the guy. It goes in the standard case and uses the standard shifter.
Anyone can install it and it's a wonderful gearbox--except for the price.
I've had to buy it twice--I dropped one on the pavement at 120 plus. Has
that beautiful straight cut whine. Upshifts without the clutch.

Where do you get a "quaife dog box"? Does it just drop in to a standard
case and does it require modification to the shift mechanism? Is it the
same as the Cambridge Motorsports gear set (at 1500 GBP)?
Thanks for the reply
